HIV-related microaggressions and depressive symptoms among people living with HIV: the mediating roles of internalised stigma and coping with shame
Findings highlight the importance of assessing subtle forms of discrimination (ie, microaggressions) given their negative impact on the self-concept of PLWH. In addition to addressing negative attitudes and behaviours against PLWH in society, interventions that help PLWH cope with shame-related experiences might improve their mental health.
