Opening Editorial AIDS and Behavior Special Issue on Stigma

Abstract

The papers in this Special Supplement provide insight into current research on and partnerships needed to address HIV-related stigma and better characterize the negative effects of HIV-related stigma on populations disproportionately affected by HIV in the United States. The findings may be used to inform evidence-based strategies and ideally additional interventional research with the goal of reducing stigma, new HIV infections, and improved health for persons with HIV.
