A multidimensional quantitative evaluation of HIV/AIDS-related stigma in Cape Town, South Africa

This study arose out of a concern that previous South African national surveys may have underestimated the levels of HIV-related stigma because of limitations in the questions employed. It thus provides a more comprehensive evaluation of the extent and nature of HIV-related stigma through the measurement of several different dimensions of stigma (and regression analysis is used to conduct an exploratory examination of the factors associated with each dimension). It also presents the first assessment in South Africa of changes in stigmatising attitudes and behaviours towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) over time.
