Stigma and discrimination are potentially the most difficult aspects of HIV/AIDS to address, but addressing them is the key to overcoming the spread of the disease. This qualitative study attempts to address these social issues and explores the experiences of HIV positive people as well as the perspectives and experiences of members of these communities at large. The study sought to understand HIV-related stigma, discrimination, denial and fear and how these affect HIV epidemic, including testing, treatment and support. The study found that there are a range of cultural and structural issues that may increase risk for infection, create obstacles to testing and treatment, and lead to isolation and stigma experienced by HIV positive people. Participants discussed religious beliefs and norms, homophobia or the denial of homosexuality within communities, and silence about health and sexuality as issues affecting responses to HIV within communities. It is hoped that this report will be used to foster discussion and action to address HIV/AIDS within communities.Keywords
