 This research study examined the prevalence of stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV in three hospitals in New Delhi, India. It found that stigma was present among all types of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and ward staff. Additionally, it identified several factors that contribute to stigma, such as incorrect beliefs about HIV transmission, discriminatory practices, and attitudes towards HIV-infected individuals. Furthermore, the study found that higher levels of stigma were correlated with lower levels of correct knowledge about HIV transmission and discriminatory practices. The study concluded that stigma reduction efforts should take into consideration the cultural and economic context of the region, as well as the specific needs of each individual patient.
