The shifting shadow of HIV-related stigma

Abstract

The health impacts of HIV have lessened with the advent of antiretroviral treatment and other interventions. However, stigma still casts a shadow over people living with HIV, undermining their health and quality of life. How far does this shadow extend?. Four decades into the epidemic, researchers from the HSRC and elsewhere grapple with the different forms stigma takes on in various contexts, and how to address it.
