Cork to get new mural to tackle 'outdated ideas' and stigma around living with HIV

Cork Sexual Health Centre has invited public to have their say on plans for the artwork at a consultation event later this month

Earlier this year, analysis of bloodwork from more than 1,000 people from the Cork region found HIV antibodies in 1.05% of samples — about three times the national average.

A new mural will be developed in Cork City to help tackle the stigma of living with HIV.

A consultation hearing will take place at the end of this month on plans for the HIV Wall of Positivity, which is being worked on by the Cork’s Sexual Health Centre, with the Ardú Street Art Project.
