HIV and AIDS social issues. In many regions, social issues increase the risk of HIV infection making it difficult to tackle the global HIV epidemic effectively. Certain groups of people are more affected by HIV than others. Sometimes this is because they engage in high-risk behaviours, while others experience stigma and discrimination that stops them from approaching HIV services.
