Dr. Millicent Atujuna is a sociologist/population scientist with a focus on issues relating to social and behavioral aspects of health. Currently working as a social behavioral scientist at the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation, Millicent’s current research interests are on understanding the macro and micro factors that drive health-seeking behavior as well as understanding how individuals negotiate such dynamics. Millicent also has a particular interest in issues relating to adolescent health and wellbeing.
On today's special World AIDS Day episode, we join Millicent, colleagues and young people living with HIV at the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation to learn about why stigma matters for youth living with HIV in South Africa, and how we can challenge this stigma. You can follow the Desmond Tutu Health Foundation here and learn more about Millicent's research here.
