| h English (en) | In Tunisia, there are an estimated 2600 people living with HIV, which is less than 0.1% of the adult population.<ref>[http://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/tunisia HIV and AIDS estimates - Tunisia]</ref> However, HIV is heavily stigmatized in Tunisia. The groups of people who are most predominantly affected (sex workers, men who have sex with men and intravenous drug users) by HIV often experience extreme disenfranchisement. According to a 2014 Guardian article, "Tunisia, a country with one of the most far-reaching and comprehensive approaches to combating HIV-Aids in the Middle East and north Africa, is in a war of attrition with the pervasive influences of ignorance and stigma that cut through to the marrow of Tunisian society."<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jul/21/tunisia-aids-hiv-discrimination Tunisia's fight against Aids hampered by widespread discrimination]</ref> The Tunisian government is prohibited from working with criminalized populations (such as drug users), so organizations that aren't tied to the state are often the only ones that can deliver crucial services to all affected people. One of these organizations is Global Fund to Fight AIDS, which is primarily composed of volunteers who are HIV-positive.<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/15/tunisia-aids_n_6309342.html AIDS In Tunisia Is No Myth, Even If It’s Rarely Talked About]</ref> |
| h French (fr) | En Tunisie, on estime à 2600 le nombre de personnes vivant avec le VIH, ce qui équivaut à moins de 0,1% de la population adulte.<ref>[http://www.unaids.org/en/regionscountries/countries/tunisia HIV and AIDS estimates - Tunisia]</ref> Cependant, le VIH est très stigmatisé en Tunisie. Le groupe de personnes les plus touchées par le VIH (travailleurs/euses du sexe, hommes ayant des relations sexuelles avec d'autres hommes, et consommateurs de drogues) sont souvent exclus par la société. Selon un article du Guardian de 2014, "La Tunisie, un des pays avec l'une des approches les plus complète et efficace pour combattre le VIH-SIDA au Moyen-Orient et en Afrique du Nord, se heurte aux influences répandues de l'ignorance et de la stigmatisation qui persistent encore dans la société tunisienne."<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jul/21/tunisia-aids-hiv-discrimination Tunisia's fight against Aids hampered by widespread discrimination]</ref> Le gouvernement tunisien interdit de travailler avec des populations criminalisées (telles que les consommateurs de drogues), les organisations non liées à l'Etat sont donc souvent les seules pouvant offrir une aide cruciale aux personnes affectées. Une de ces organisations est le Global Fund to Fight AIDS, composée principalement de bénévoles séropositifs.<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/15/tunisia-aids_n_6309342.html AIDS In Tunisia Is No Myth, Even If It’s Rarely Talked About]</ref> |
