The stigma and discrimination associated with sexual orientation and gender identity complicates the struggles of those at risk of getting HIV and people living with HIV/AIDS. The ability to shift from real world identities to online anonymity becomes empowering for these individuals as they are able to pursue their fight against the disease.

ABSTRACT
The stigma and discrimination associated with sexual orientation and gender identity complicates the struggles of those at risk of getting HIV and people living with HIV/AIDS. The ability to shift from real world identities to online anonymity becomes empowering for these individuals as they are able to pursue their fight against the disease. In the blog of Pozziepinoy, through the emails sent to him, we see how sexual orientations and gender identities are suppressed and ignored: allowing these individuals to face the conditions and confront the other problems associated with this disease.
