HIV-related stigma and discrimination refers to prejudice, abuse,negative attitudes and directed at people living with HIV and AIDS. Stigma and discrimination also make people vulnerable to HIV. Those most at risk to HIV continue to face stigma and discrimination based on their actual or perceived health status, race, socioeconomic status, age, sex, sexual orientation or gender identity or other grounds. HIV/AIDS discrimination exists around the globe, including rejection, ostracism, discrimination, and avoidance. Consequences of stigma and discrimination may result in low turn-out for HIV counselling and testing, identity crises, isolation, loneliness, low self-esteem and lack of interest in containing the disease.
