Abstract

A series of papers examine HIV-related stigma in a variety of contexts and settings, exploring the impact of stigma on several different populations. Some 50–60% of people living with HIV are unaware of their status. HIV-related stigma prevents millions of people from coming forward for testing and for prevention and treatment services. This issue is co-edited by Anne Stangl of STRIVE partner ICRW-DC and Cynthia Grossman of the US National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
