虽然艾滋病污名化研究取得了进展，但在非洲还没有可靠有效的多项目艾滋病污名化量表。目前的研究报告的九项艾滋病相关的污名规模的发展。在五个南非社区（N = 2306）进行的研究发现，该量表内部一致，α = 0.75，时间稳定超过3个月，r = 0.67。该量表在三种不同语言（英语、科萨语和南非荷兰语）中也是可靠的。相关性分析显示，艾滋病相关污名量表与受教育年限和艾滋病知识呈中度负相关。此外，认为艾滋病毒阳性者应隐瞒其艾滋病毒状况的人在艾滋病相关污名量表上的得分较高。同样支持该量表的结构效度，拒绝报告他们是否接受过艾滋病毒检测的个人在艾滋病相关污名量表上得分较高。
Although there has been progress in AIDS stigma research, there are no multi-item AIDS stigma scales that have been shown reliable and valid in Africa. The current research reports the development of the nine-item AIDS-Related Stigma Scale. Research conducted in five South African communities (N = 2306) found the scale internally consistent, alpha = 0.75 and time stable over 3 months, r = 0.67. The scale was also reliable in three different languages (English, Xhosa, and Afrikaans). Correlations showed that the AIDS-Related Stigma Scale was moderately inversely correlated with years of education and AIDS knowledge. In addition, individuals who stated that HIV positive persons should conceal their HIV status had higher AIDS-Related Stigma Scale scores. Also supporting the scale's construct validity, individuals who refused to report whether they had been tested for HIV scored higher on the AIDS-Related Stigma Scale.
