AIDS” stands for Acquired
Immunodeficiency Syndrome

HIV infection, and
noteveryone who has
HIV advances to this

stage of HIV disease
have badly damaged
immune systems, which
put them at risk
for opportunisticinfections.

• HIV is a deadly disease that many
people fear.
• Adults in the U.S. still wrongly
believe HIVcould pass through
casual contact (sharing a
drinking glass or eat together).
This greatly increases their fear
about being near to be people
living with HIV.
• Some people believe that having
HIV/AIDS is the punishment for
their faults. For example, injecting
drugs, bad sex.
![Page 6: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Stigma is when people have
negative beliefs, views or
attitudes about individuals
that belong to a certain
group. Often the result of
stigma is discrimination.
HIV/AIDS people get
discrimination from other
people.

• The number of new HIV infections
has declined globally by 21% since
the estimated peak of the
epidemic in 1997.
• 2.3 million people were newly
infected with HIV worldwide in 2012.
• In some parts of the world
(particularly within Sub-Saharan

Due to the lack of knowledge
and education, people think
that HIV/AIDS can transmits
through air or just by touching.
Some people know how
HIV/AIDS is transmitted but
they are lacked of
confidence about how HIV
is not transmitted.
![Page 11: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Many people think that HIV
person should feel ashamed
about themselves because
it’s their fault that they get
HIV infected.
That is why HIV people afraid
of staying near to everybody. Also, once they get infected
and nobody is there to
support them then they don’t want to live any longer.
![Page 12: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• The people who has fear
on HIVdoes not think and
aware of the seriousness
of the impacts that the
stigma put onto people
living with HIV and also
the society.

When a person has HIV, it is way
harder for he/she to get a job.
Or even though he/she did
have a job, chances are
he/she may be asked to leave.
The reasons being could be:
•Redundancy (the company
might say that the job is no
longer available)
• To ensure the safeness for
other workers and customer,
HIV person cannot be recruited
or keep working.
![Page 18: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
… An unemployed person is the one who does not have any
income. This leads to the loss of livelihood, which means loss of
securing the necessities of life. They can no longer supply for
themselves, not to mention their family.

The person with HIV was
denied even though he has
the same profile as the other
person.
![Page 21: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

An HIV person should
whether get married
with another HIV person
or stay single. This is
necessary to reduce the
number of infected
people through intimate
relationship.
Even though there are ways to prevent the child from getting infected, women with HIV are encouraged to not being pregnant. They do not want to risk because there are still chances that the child may haveHIV.
![Page 22: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Although people in the healthcare system (doctors, nurse,…)
are the one who understand the most aboutHIV/AIDS, some of
them still show discriminate attitude. They afraid that they will
be infected when they treatHIVpatients (surgery, injection,…)
and it will affect their reputation. People with HIV may be
turned away from hospitals.
Example
![Page 23: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There was a case in Beijing, China. A man wanted to
remove the tumor in his liver but no hospital agreed to do
the operation.
In China, hospitals routinely reject people with HIV for
surgery out of fear of exposure to the virus or harm to their
reputations.
"In my hometown, not a single hospital is willing to operate on people infected with HIV, this is not
discrimination by one single person but by an entire
country” said the man.
![Page 24: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
A HIV/AIDS person may not only denied by the society but also from within the family. They may feel afraid or concern to live with a HIV person.
![Page 25: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A young woman in Uganda
contracted HIV/AIDS and
faced stigma from everyone
in her lives, including her
family.
Her family members emphasized
that she must only use her own
plates, cups, soap, basin etc. She
also had to drop out of her high
school since her father claimed
that he would not spend his money on a “moving corpse.” After one
year, as if the isolation and
rejection were not enough of a
punishment, her father expelled her
from his home, claiming that if she
remained, her young siblings would
follow her footsteps and get AIDS
too.
![Page 26: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
HIV/AIDS – infected people feel depressed not simply
because they know that they
cannot live long. They also
have to suffer the pain of
feeling worthless because
they cannot do anything for
their family or the society.
The survey of more than 2,000 HIV-
infected people in a dozen countries
reveals that in the U.S., 42% of people
with the virus feel isolated because of
their infection, compared to 37%
worldwide. And 42% of people with HIV
in the U.S. report feeling depressed.
![Page 27: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Some people believe that everyone has HIV because of wrong behaviour (drugs, bas sex,...)
![Page 28: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Effects on the society
More likely to transmit
to others
![Page 29: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The presence of stigma and fear of experiencing its have affected people’s willingness to find treatment. Oftenly, they will feel uncomfortable when asking for help because they have HIV.
Their illness will get worse=> risk for the society
![Page 30: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
As mentioned, the ignorance and
discrimination scare HIV/AIDS people,
push them to avoid testing and
treatments.
Accordingly, they put the whole society
into the risk of getting infected.
![Page 33: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Example in
Uganda
![Page 34: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Due to avoiding treatments and denied to be treated, HIV
become worse and turn into AIDS (last phase of HIV). At this
time, people die a lot more easily.
![Page 35: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The more HIV/AIDS infections, the more fund the
governments have to raise for them. Not to
mention the victim of HIV, but what about people
who have them because of wrong behavior?
Healthcare services
Unemployment
grants
![Page 36: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
![Page 37: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
There must be possible solutions to prevent
all these bad future from happening…
![Page 38: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
![Page 39: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
If people is well educated in a
good environment, people will
get to know more about HIV/AIDS
and exactly how HIV/AIDS is
spread so stigma of HIV/AIDS can
be reduce.
HIV people and normal people
can live harmoniously together and
support each other.
![Page 40: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The effectiveness of this
methods is still a question
mark.
![Page 41: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Raising awareness is also an effective solution as it helps people
to pay attention at the people living with HIV and not to
discriminate them.
There are two biggest events that take place every yearwhich
are HIV Vaccine Awareness Day (HVAD) and HIV/AIDS day.
![Page 42: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
This day provides an opportunity to
recognize andthanksthe many
volunteers, community members, health professionals, and scientists who
are working together to find a safe
and effective HIV vaccine.
It is also a day to educate
communities across the nation about the importance of HIV
vaccine research.
![Page 43: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

According to a healthcare workers, “My health
facility has policies to protect HIV positive patients
from discrimination. I will get in trouble at work if I
do not follow the policies to protect patients living
with HIV. Since I have been working at my
institution, I have been trained in protecting the
confidentiality of patients’ HIV status.
![Page 46: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Stigma is the most dangerous aspect of HIV/AIDS as not only affects the people living with HIV but also impact a lots on the society.
• The stigma of HIV will scare people living with HIV,push them to avoid testing and treatments and they can be physically damage.
People living with HIV can
become violent and they could
put the whole society into the
risk of getting infected.
![Page 47: Stigma of hiv 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042607/55aac84e1a28ab69558b48a5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
There will always be some
of a matter.
And in this case, we can still count on the
to prevent
from happening…
