Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
A young man walks into a government office to apply for a scholarship. He hands over his medical clearance. The clerk sees "HIV positive" and suddenly the smile fades. They tell him to wait. He waits for hours. He goes home with no answers. Weeks pass. No reply. He never gets that scholarship. It happens more often than we care to admit. In hospitals. In city halls. Even in classrooms. People living with HIV are still treated like outcasts. Not because of the virus. But because of ignorance.
What’s really wrong? Policies exist. But people break them. Discrimination is quiet, subtle, and deadly. Government workers are supposed to uphold the law. Instead, some of them deny people their rights. The Civil Service Commission just released rules to punish discrimination. That’s good. But it’s also too late. HIV cases are rising fast. Especially among the youth. The problem is not just health. It’s hate. Fear. And silence. It’s time to expose how deep the stigma runs inside the system itself.
