HIV and Stigma

Understanding HIV and Stigma:
AIDS-related stigma refers to the prejudice and discrimination directed at people living with HIV/AIDS, and the groups and communities that they are associated with. It can result in people living with HIV/AIDS being rejected from their community, shunned, discriminated against or even physically hurt.

AIDS stigma and discrimination have been seen all over the world, although they manifests themselves differently between countries, communities, religious groups and individuals. They are often seen alongside other forms of stigma and discrimination, such as racism, homophobia or misogyny and can be associated with behaviours often considered socially unacceptable such as prostitution or drug use.
