这项研究的目的是审查食物作为艾滋病毒阳性妇女及其家人表达和体验艾滋病毒/艾滋病耻辱的工具的作用，以减少歧视。它超越了艾滋病毒/艾滋病研究中发现的共享餐具的意愿。作为南非正在进行的艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名化问题能力建设项目的一部分，在三个黑人社区的195名妇女和54名男子中进行了25个重点小组和15次关键的知情人访谈。要求参与者讨论她们作为感染艾滋病毒和艾滋病的妇女在家庭中受到的待遇，并使用PEN-3模式组织数据。调查结果突出了艾滋病毒抗体阳性妇女遇到的积极和消极经历。妇女不愿透露自己的艾滋病毒感染状况，以免被孤立，无法参与做饭的社会文化方面，而其他透露了艾滋病毒感染状况的妇女则遭到疏远。在南非消除艾滋病毒/艾滋病污名时，食物的象征意义应是一个主要考虑因素。
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of food as an instrument in expressing and experiencing HIV/AIDS stigma by HIV-positive women and their families, with the goal of reducing discrimination. It goes beyond willingness to share utensils, which has been identified in HIV/AIDS research. As part of an ongoing capacity-building HIV/AIDS stigma project in South Africa, 25 focus groups and 15 key informant interviews were conducted among 195 women and 54 men in three Black communities. Participants were asked to discuss how they were treated in the family as women living with HIV and AIDS, and data was organized using the PEN-3 model. Findings highlight both the positive and negative experiences HIV-positive women encounter. Women would not disclose their HIV status to avoid being isolated from participating in the socio-cultural aspects of food preparation, while others that have disclosed their status have experienced alienation. The symbolic meanings of food should be a major consideration when addressing the elimination of HIV/AIDS stigma in South Africa.
