Estigma

¿Cómo afecta el estigma a la prevención y al tratamiento del VIH? Elaborado por Pamela DeCarlo y Maria Ekstrand PhD, CAPS | October 2016

Stigma

HIV-related stigma is a significant problem globally. HIV stigma inflicts hardship and suffering on people living with HIV and interferes with research, prevention, treatment, care and support efforts. HIV-related stigma refers to negative beliefs, feelings and attitudes towards people living with HIV, their families and people who work with them. HIV stigma often reinforces existing social inequalities based on gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and culture.
