Stigma is negative attitudes and beliefs directed towards people based on attributes like health status. HIV-related stigma refers specifically to stigma against people living with HIV. Discrimination occurs when stigma leads to unjust treatment, like denial of rights. HIV stigma is common and can negatively impact healthcare uptake and outcomes for people living with HIV. Reducing stigma requires education to increase understanding and sympathy for those affected by HIV.
Mental health stigma can be divided into two distinct types: social stigma is characterized by prejudicial attitudes and discriminating behaviour directed towards individuals with mental health problems as a result of the psychiatric label they have been given. In contrast, perceived stigma or self-stigma is the internalizing by the mental health sufferer of their perceptions of discrimination (Link, Cullen, Struening & Shrout, 1989), and perceived stigma can significantly affect feelings of shame and lead to poorer treatment outcomes (Perlick, Rosenheck, Clarkin, Sirey et al., 2001).
Stigma & discrimination associated with hivaidsliyew
The document discusses stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS. It defines stigma as a negative attribute that reduces a person's status, and discrimination as unfair treatment based on real or perceived HIV status. Several forms of stigma are outlined, including physical isolation, social exclusion, verbal insults, and institutional barriers like loss of employment or housing. Stigma stems from lack of HIV knowledge and moral judgments about transmission. It can prevent people from seeking testing or care, and undermine prevention and treatment efforts. Addressing HIV-related stigma is important for achieving public health goals.
Mental illnesses like schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder are legitimate medical conditions, not character flaws. They are caused by genetic and biological factors and can be effectively treated. However, stigma and lack of understanding prevent many from seeking help. Myths that those with mental illnesses are dangerous or that conditions like depression are simply weakness perpetuate social stigma. In reality, around 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health problem in their lifetime, and conditions like depression result in significant economic costs due to lost productivity. Increased education is needed to reduce the stigma around mental illnesses.
The document discusses stigma associated with mental illness. It notes that stigma involves negative stereotypes and attitudes that label people with mental illness as less worthy. These attitudes are perpetuated by misrepresentations in media and a lack of understanding. The document outlines various factors that contribute to stigma, including fear, economic issues, lack of treatment facilities, and cultural beliefs. It also discusses the negative impacts of self-stigma, discrimination, and social exclusion that people with mental illness often face. Interventions like social contact and education are mentioned as ways to potentially help address stigma.

Emotional and verbal abuse can be more difficult to identify and prove than physical abuse. While physical abuse leaves marks, emotional and verbal abuse mainly impacts one's mental health and self-esteem. Two main reasons women resist leaving these abusive relationships are economic hardship, as abusers often control finances, and emotional attachment. Over time in abusive relationships, intermittent good and bad treatment can form a traumatic bond and dependency on the abuser, weakening one's self-esteem and making leaving feel impossible. More research is still needed to fully understand how emotional attachment specifically prevents women from exiting abusive relationships.
Paranoid personality disorder is characterized by pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of others. Individuals with this disorder tend to interpret others' actions as threatening and hold grudges.

Recovery requires addressing the underlying causes that contribute to feeling stuck and fuel addictive patterns.

This document discusses stigmatization and discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS in Papua New Guinea. It notes that stigma stems from ignorance about HIV transmission and a moral association of the virus with promiscuity. Stigma isolates people with HIV/AIDS and discourages them from seeking care. It also prevents open discussion about HIV status and spreads misinformation. The document argues for promoting compassion and understanding of people with HIV/AIDS as the most effective way to address the epidemic.
This document discusses the role of community in curbing stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS. It outlines how community support structures like families, neighbors, and healthcare workers can either help or hinder those affected by HIV/AIDS. The document then defines stigma and discrimination and discusses how stigma is expressed through attitudes, language, and lack of knowledge about HIV/AIDS. It also examines how social stigma from communities can prevent people from accessing healthcare and support services due to fear of being seen by others. Finally, it discusses some strategies that have helped curb stigma, such as community education programs and family counseling services.

3. Definitions
03
Discrimination
Refers to negative behaviour or actions based on prejudice and to actions
taken against a person or group because of perceived differences such as
race, religion or disability.
Segregation, rejection and violence are forms of discrimination as is any action
that treats a person or group of people differently from anyone else.
~it is prejudice in action~
Prejudice
Is a negative attitude to members of a group, based solely on their ‘membership’
of that group.
Stigma
Is a ‘feeling’ that other people have a bad opinion of you or do not respect you.
There is a stain placed on your good name. Stigmatism describes "a process of
discrediting an individual or group in the eyes of others". A stigma devalues the
person rather than a specific action.
4. Combating stigma, isolation,
stereotypes, and discrimination

• Care for all people, regardless of their health or social status, discrimination,
and isolation of people living with HIV & AIDS
• Prevention strategies will become far more successful when HIV is treated
like any other disease
• Encourage people to feel safe and be open about their HIV status
• Healthcare professionals can become advocates for acceptance and care

attitudes towards HIV & AIDS
• Individually or in groups by asking and reflecting on the following
questions………..

care support, counselling, education, and advice in the prevention and care
of HIV & AIDS?
• What influence do I have on others who care for people who are infected
and affected by HIV & AIDS?
• What is my role in providing and promoting safe, moral, and ethical care to
people living with HIV and their loved ones, caregivers and communities?

7. Case Study……..1
07
I was in a taxi on my way home, being the
last person to be dropped off the driver took
me to the bush, pointed a gun at me and
raped me.
When I found out about my positive HIV
status and I was pregnant did not report it
out of fear.
Since then I have been seriously stressed
but I joined AID My Journey support group
which has helped me to feel much better.
~TD~
8. Case Study……..2
08
I have been stigmatised in the past by my son and
sister in law.
My son won't allow me to prepare food or cook for him.
My sister in law would make me wash dishes with
gloves on in case I cut myself.
She even went as far as getting me my own sink for me
to wash my own dishes in.
My name is Joy MacDonald. I'm not afraid to disclose my
name if it helps others.
People are blessed to have you around to help them
through their HIV illness. Thank you. ~Joy MacDonald~
9. Case Study……..3
09
• I have found it very hard to speak to people I know when
I got infected with HIV. I rather confide in a stranger
than my own friends/family.
• It’s very difficult to go for an HIV test especially in the
townships as its called the' white room' cause it’s
sidelined in the corner of the clinic.
• Whether you are going to walk out HIV pos or neg you
are already labelled positive because you went
inside the white room. I just feel like HIV shouldn't be
sidelined like a deadly illness as it’s manageable.
~MMD~
10. Case Study……..4
10
My status got aired out two days after I found out by a “councilor”
who dealt with HIV infected people in his past.
My step dad couldn’t believe it, he said the tests were inaccurate and
that I should go for a second opinion, though I went for 3 different tests
and all of them came back positive.
I took a knock and was on the verge of committing suicide.
Everyone always talks about how to prevent being infected but
never how to deal with it if you do happen to get infected.
A friend introduced me to Cindy. I was petrified and skeptical about the
efficiency of going to a support group. But boy was I surprised. It
helped me understand that I’m not the only one who’s going
through this, that if I want advice I have numerous people to turn to
and no matter how grim life looks, Cindy is always there to comfort and
cheer anyone up.
11. HIV & AIDS Speak/Etiquette
The Stigma Project

13. 13
Stigmatisation in Children
Children grieving for dying or dead parents are often stigmatised by
society through association with AIDS.
Distress and social isolation experienced by these children, before and
after the death of their parent(s), made worse by the shame, fear, and
rejection that often surrounds people affected by HIV and AIDS.
Because of this stigma, children may be denied access to schooling and
health care.
14. 14 Children…......
Once a parent dies children may also be denied their inheritance and
property.
Often children who have lost their parents to AIDS are assumed to be HIV
positive themselves, adding to the likelihood that they will face discrimination
and damaging their future prospects.
Children may also be denied access to healthcare that they need.
Sometimes this occurs because it is assumed that they are infected with HIV
and their illnesses are untreatable.
15. Dealing with death
15
Important to make sure that people that are ill and are likely to die, prepare
properly.
Help them not to worry too much about their children and families after they
have gone.
Identify guardians
Wills to cover land or belongings
Sort out any bank accounts or insurances
Ensure last days spent in comfort
16. Dignity in Death
16
Funerals are covered / organise community
assistance
Municipalities and religious organise access paupers
burials
Family are allowed to attend these funerals and a
service can be held at the grave
Buried with dignity
