Today, Lambda Legal and the Black AIDS Institute (BAI) launched CUT THE STIGMA, a joint public education campaign focused on Black communities developed to dispel misconceptions surrounding the transmission of HIV and reduce HIV stigma and its resulting discrimination. The campaign was developed in conjunction with a complaint filed today in U.S. District Court by Lambda Legal on behalf of Nikko Briteramos against the owner of a Los Angeles barbershop who refused to cut Briteramos' hair because he is living with HIV.
