Stigma and discrimination can be experienced in many painful ways.
- Not allowed admission in educational institutions.
- Not allowed admission and treatment in hospitals.
- Not allowed to continue with one’s job.
- Stigma against the family members too, leading to embarrassment.
- Stigma and isolation by the family members.
- Widespread fear leading to a non- caring attitude against the HIV Positive person. Thus, an HIV positive person dies faster due to stigma and discrimination as compared to the syndrome.
