14th Annual International Conference on Stigma
14-17 November 2023
Sponsored by Howard University
Submission Deadline: 29 September 2023
This hybrid conference aims to increase awareness of the stigma of HIV and other health conditions and to explore interventions to eradicate this stigma. This conference also serves to educate healthcare providers and the general public about stigma as both a major barrier to prevention and treatment of illnesses and a human rights violation. We are looking for original research that addresses HIV stigma or other mental or physical health-related stigma to be presented as a virtual poster during the conference virtual poster session on November 16, 2023. During the virtual poster session, each presenter will have the opportunity to give a live or pre-recorded presentation of their work with a live Q & A session to follow. Abstracts that focus on this year’s theme of, “My Story – Who Can I Tell? Disclosure… Harm… Healing” are particularly encouraged. A limited number of non-research community-based project posters may be accepted for presentation during the virtual poster session.
The Best Scientific Abstract Award recipient will have the opportunity to provide a brief virtual oral presentation of their work on November 15, 2023 in addition to their participation in the virtual poster session. Monetary prizes will be given for the top three scientific abstracts. The Best Scientific Abstract Award recipient will receive a $500 prize, the second-place scientific abstract will receive a $200 prize, and the third-place scientific abstract will receive a $100 prize.
For questions about abstracts, contact Victoria Hoverman and Shirin Sultana at HU.Stigma.Conference@gmail.com. For general questions about the conference contact Patricia Houston at phouston@howard.edu. Find more information on abstract submission and registration.
