Guidelines to reduce human immunodeficieny virus and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome stigmatisation in Soshanguve.

M. Tech. Nursing / Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) related stigma has been reported as a major barrier of HIV control and prevention globally. It creates social inequalities that distance people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) from social interactions and support, impacting negatively on prevention and care. The purpose of this study was to develop guidelines to reduce HIV and AIDS stigmatisation in Soshanguve. The objectives were to explore the perceptions of PLWHA regarding stigmatisation of their illness and the impact on their daily living; describe the reactions of the community members towards PLWHA and develop guidelines to reduce HIV and AIDS stigmatisation in Soshanguve.
