This booklet is for people living with HIV and explains why stigma is associated with HIV and how this can be damaging. There is information on how to deal with stigma and discrimination if it is encountered in everyday life. Introductory information is provided on the ways in which the law can either protect against discrimination or be a remedy if it occurs. The criminal prosecution of HIV transmission has made some people with HIV feel stigmatised and information is provided on this. Details of HIV organisations who can help you if you encounter stigma or discrimination are provided.
