CTV Winnipeg: Manitoba researchers working to put end to HIV stigma

July 22, 2025 — 

A team of researchers at the University of Manitoba is working to put an end to the stigma around HIV.

The group is being led by associate professor Dr. Zulma Rueda, who highlighted the fact that Manitoba recorded its highest-ever HIV incidence in 2022 and 2023.

She noted the research also found that for the first time, more women than men were diagnosed with HIV, adding that the numbers also show an overrepresentation of Indigenous people and drug users.
