Søren Kierkegaard was engaged with the press in a variety of ways throughout his authorship. Although studies of Kierkegaard's interactions with the public press of his time have largely focused on his dispute with the satirical newspaper, Corsaren, in this paper I examine his first engagement with the press—a mostly anonymous newspaper dispute with the Danish social activist, Orla Lehmann, about the freedom of the press in Denmark—as a lens through which to understand his thoughts on the press in general, on anonymous authorship in the newspapers and otherwise, and the ethical and religious significance Kierkegaard sees in the methods we employ, including anonymity, when we engage one another in public writings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article reflects on the progress made in the fight against discrimination and stigma in relation to HIV/AIDS over the past decade. It highlights the positive impact of measures such as self-testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and antiretroviral therapy (ART) in reducing new HIV cases and mortality rates. However, it also acknowledges that discrimination and stigma still persist, particularly affecting transgender individuals who experience higher rates of HIV prevalence and discrimination. The article emphasizes the importance of culturally competent and respectful care for transgender individuals and calls for governments and international agencies to establish policies that address social determinants and intersectional stigma to ensure equity, dignity, and health for all.
