The South African organization Positive Muslims, based in Cape Town, resulted from one of the founding members' experience of being stigmatized. When Faghmeda Miller discovered her HIV-positive status, she noted that there were no support structures for Muslims living with HIV in South Africa. On the contrary, stigma surrounds infected and affected persons in Muslim communities.
