Utility of population-based HIV impact assessments to understand the associations of stigma with the HIV treatment cascade: Analytical framework using cross-sectional evidence from Tanzania

Stigma likely prevented many undiagnosed PLHIV in Tanzania from knowing their status. Fear of healthcare discrimination due to anticipated stigma undermines ART uptake among diagnosed PLHIV and viral suppression among those on ART. PHIA surveys have untapped potential to quantify the effects of HIV-related stigma and inform interventions to end HIV as a public health threat.

Abstract

Stigma likely prevented many undiagnosed PLHIV in Tanzania from knowing their status. Fear of healthcare discrimination due to anticipated stigma undermines ART uptake among diagnosed PLHIV and viral suppression among those on ART. PHIA surveys have untapped potential to quantify the effects of HIV-related stigma and inform interventions to end HIV as a public health threat.
