Words Matter!
The NIAID HIV Language Guide is a means to advance the use of person-first, inclusive, and respectful language. The continued use of language known to be offensive and stigmatizing is insensitive and disrespectful. NIAID and ACTG are making every effort to eliminate such terminology and advance the use of person-first, inclusive, and respectful language. This updated language guide is an important step toward that end. With it, NIAID is also embarking on a campaign to educate and strongly advocate for person-first, non-stigmatizing language in all our communications, including but not limited to grant applications, contracts, publications, presentations, abstracts, and press materials. We will also encourage the use of person-first language at all meetings, workshops, and conferences.
