This document discusses the role of HIV/AIDS stigma in access to care. It aims to examine how stigma impacts testing behavior, disclosure of status, and entry into care, particularly for women and minorities. The goals are to define key terms around stigma, discuss prevalence of HIV stigma in the US, and strategies to address stigma. HIV stigma stems from existing prejudices and negatively impacts individuals with HIV and those associated with them through discrimination and barriers to services. Racial minorities face disparities in access to HIV care due to the effects of stigma.
