Stigma and discrimination against adolescents living with perinatal HIV in Thailand: caregivers' perceptions
We found that the prevalence of stigma/discrimination among adolescents living with perinatal HIV was high. Despite existing policies, stigma eradication remains necessary to normalize their life as they grow into adulthood and may face the consequences of past/current discrimination in terms of access to university studies or occupation, at work, in the community or in their romantic life.
