本文简要回顾了当前有关艾滋病相关耻辱的知识，其定义为针对被认为患有艾滋病或艾滋病毒的人的偏见、轻视、抹黑和歧视！与他们相关的个人、团体和社区 艾滋病耻辱已表现为对艾滋病患者的歧视、暴力和个人排斥（PWA）。尽管艾滋病作为一种疾病的特征可能不可避免地会带来某种程度的耻辱，但艾滋病也被用作表达对受该流行病影响较大的群体，特别是男同性恋者和注射吸毒者（IDU）的负面态度的象征。艾滋病耻辱会影响 PWA 的福祉，并影响他们向他人披露其血清状况的个人选择。它还影响到 PWA 的亲人和他们的护理人员，包括志愿者和专业人士。耻辱阻碍了社会对这一流行病的反应，并且可能会继续产生影响，因为为艾滋病毒感染者提供特殊保护的政策面临重新审查。
This article briefly reviews current knowledge about AIDS-related stigma, defined as prejudice, discounting, discrediting, and discrimination directed at people perceived to have AIDS or HIV! and the individuals, groups, and communities with which they are associated AIDS stigma has been manifested in discrimination, violence, and personal rejection of people with AIDS(PWAs). Whereas the characteristics of AIDS as an illness probably make some degree of stigma inevitable, AIDS has also been used as a symbol for expressing negative attitudes toward groups disproportionately affected by the epidemic, especially gay men and injecting drug users (IDUs). AIDS stigma affects the well-being of PWAs and influences their personal choices about disclosing their serostatus to others. It also affects PWAs' loved ones and their caregivers, both volunteers and professionals. Stigma has hindered society's response to the epidemic, and may continue to have an impact as policies providing special protection to people with HIV face renewed scrutiny.
