dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: The AIDS epidemic has brought out both the best and the worst in people. The disease brings out the best when individuals group together in solidarity to combat the consequences of HIV/AIDS and to support and care for PLWHA. HIV/AIDS also brings out the worst when individuals are stigmatized and ostracized by their loved ones, their family and their communities and discriminated against individually as well as institutionally. This research has reviewed available scientific literature on HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination. The research has also established HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination comes in different forms and occurs in different contexts. Stigma and discrimination play a significant role in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment efforts. Analysis of this research indicates stigma and discrimination has a negative impact on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment efforts.en_ZA
