In December 2016, Hromadske met Daniil Stolbuniv. He is HIV-positive, studies medicine, works for the youth organisation “TEENERGIZER!” and talks to teenagers about why they should not be afraid of HIV.
This time Daniil came to us to figure out how to deal with indirect discrimination from medical workers at a student clinic. This is the story of what happened next:
“When I got into to college, I collected all the necessary documents. I still only needed a medical note issued by the doctor at the student clinic. I went there with my mother, it was a long conversation, and they told me to leave,” Daniil told Hromadske back in winter. “I went there again, the doctor and nurse reviewed the case and said: ‘Well, you understand everything. You can’t study here because you have HIV.’ At the time, I didn’t not know my rights.”
