Addressing stigma affecting people living with HIV (PLHIV) is a global priority [1]. Stigma, defined as “the co-occurrence of labeling, stereotyping, separation, status loss, and discrimination in a context in which power is exercised”[2], has a negative impact on the health of PLHIV, and contributes to psychosocial stress, coercion and violence, job loss, and social exclusion [3]. Among PLHIV, gay men and other men who have sex with other men (MSM), transgender individuals, sex workers, and people who use drugs (PWUD)–often referred to as key populations–are situated at the intersection of HIV-related stigma and prejudice against their identities, occupations, or behaviours, often exacerbating their experiences of stigma and discrimination [4, 5]. To support the health and rights of key populations living with HIV, it is important to understand their experiences of stigma, as well as to explore the intersectionality between HIV, key population status, and other marginalized group memberships, such as ethnic/and racial minorities, prisoners, migrants, and persons with disabilities. Yet to date, the psychometric study of intersecting patterns of stigma has been limited. The PLHIV Stigma Index (Stigma Index) provides evidence on stigma and discrimination that has been essential for informing HIV policy, PLHIV rights advocacy efforts, and stigma-reduction interventions [6-9]. Developed by the Global Network of PLHIV (GNP+), the International Community of Women Living with HIV (ICW), the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), and UNAIDS [10] the Stigma Index is a research tool by which PLHIV capture data on their experiences of stigma and discrimination. As of November 2017, more than 100,000 PLHIV had been interviewed in over 50 languages by 2000 trained PLHIV interviewers. In 2016, the Population Council’s Project SOAR and the Stigma Index partners (UNAIDS, GNP+, ICW), with PEPFAR funding from the Office of HIV/AIDS Research of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), undertook a process to update the Stigma Index to more fully capture the experiences of key populations living with HIV, as well as to respond to changes in global treatment guidelines, and to better understand the persistent barriers to HIV testing and treatment. Throughout the consultative, iterative process of revising the Stigma Index questionnaire, multiple stakeholders, including PLHIV networks and advocates, were asked for their input. A common recommendation was to enable respondents to share experiences of both HIV-related and key population-related stigma. Based on lessons learned from implementation in over 90 countries, stakeholders made a number of specific suggestions that were incorporated into the updated Stigma Index, including: adding a separate section with specific questions to measure stigma experienced by key populations; ensuring background demographic questions would enable analysis of stigma and discrimination by subpopulation; integrating a validated two-part gender identity question into the demographics section; separating gender identity from sexual orientation in questions and responses; utilizing existing surveys and scales for measuring stigma and discrimination in key populations [11-13]; and narrowing the timeframe to the past 12 months to better capture changes over time.The updated survey–the Stigma Index 2.0–was pilottested by the National Forum of PLHIV Networks in Uganda (NAFOPHANU) in Kampala, Uganda; by Metabiota, in collaboration with ReCAP+ in Douala and Yaoundé, Cameroon; and by Enda Santé, in collaboration with RNP+ in Dakar and Ziguinchor, Senegal …
