Stigmatisation et impact sur le soin : l'exemple des IST/VIH

Stigma affects both public health priorities (screening, adherence) and the well-being of people living with HIV. The difficulty in building tailored intervention targeting cultural and/or local preoccupations remains an impediment to public health improvement. However, providers should be able to offer support and counselling services at the earliest opportunity, empowering people living with HIV. Psychosocial stigma reducing interventions should remain a priority. Further investigation is needed to anticipate and prevent internalised stigma among people living with HIV.
