随着波多黎各感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人数继续增加，解决污名化和其他歧视态度的问题变得越来越重要。因此，本研究的目的是调查居住在波多黎各公共住房的大量妇女对艾滋病的态度，包括在工作场所和学校对艾滋病的同情和支持。共有1138名妇女完成了一项自我管理的218项调查，该调查由测量艾滋病毒相关知识、态度和行为的问题组成。同情的程度因目标群体而异，感染艾滋病毒的吸毒者得到的同情最少。大多数妇女报告说，应当允许艾滋病毒呈阳性的教师教书，应当允许艾滋病毒呈阳性的儿童上学。然而，报告说应允许感染艾滋病毒的护士继续工作的比例要低得多。在工作场所和学校中，对艾滋病病毒感染持同情态度的妇女对艾滋病病毒感染的容忍度更高，而对艾滋病病毒传播认识不准确的妇女对艾滋病病毒感染的容忍度较低。此外，那些知道艾滋病的人更宽容。波多黎各的歧视态度程度很高，需要在个人和社会层面进行干预。
As the number of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) continues to increase in Puerto Rico, it becomes increasingly important to address the issues of stigma and other discriminatory attitudes. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to examine the attitudes toward PLWHA of a large sample of women living in public housing in Puerto Rico, including sympathy and support for PLWHA in the workplace and in school. A total of 1138 women completed a self-administered 218-item survey made up of questions that measured HIV-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. Levels of sympathy varied depending upon the target group, with HIV-infected drug users receiving the least sympathy. Most women reported that HIV-positive teachers should be allowed to teach and that HIV-positive children should be allowed to attend school. However, a significantly lower percentage reported that HIV-infected nurses should be allowed to continue working. Women who were more sympathetic toward PLWHA were more tolerant of PLWHA in the workplace and school, while those with inaccurate knowledge concerning HIV transmission were less tolerant. Also, those who knew a PLWHA were more tolerant. Levels of discriminatory attitudes in Puerto Rico are high and warrant both individual- and societal-level interventions.
