即使在艾滋病毒流行率高的地区，耻辱的继续存在和持续存在使其成为一个极其重要但难以根除的问题。该研究旨在评估南非艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLHIV）所经历的当前和新出现的艾滋病毒/艾滋病耻辱和歧视趋势。PLHIV污名指数是一份调查问卷，用于测量和检测与PLHIV所经历的污名和歧视相关的变化趋势。该研究由专业发展基金会（FPD）在4个省的10个诊所进行，共采访了486名艾滋病毒感染者。本研究采用横断面设计，对数据进行描述性和推理性分析。研究结果表明，这一人群中的艾滋病毒感染者遭受了严重的耻辱和歧视，这对他们的健康、工作和家庭生活以及获得卫生服务产生了负面影响。内化的耻辱感很突出，许多参与者将自己的身份归咎于自己。研究结果可用于制定规划和干预措施，并为其提供信息，以减少艾滋病毒感染者的耻辱感。应扩大目前处理污名的措施，以纳入与健康、教育和工作场所遭受的歧视有关的问题，研究报告强调了这些问题。
The continued presence of stigma and its persistence even in areas where HIV prevalence is high makes it an extraordinarily important, yet difficult, issue to eradicate. The study aimed to assess current and emerging HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination trends in South Africa as experienced by people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). The PLHIV Stigma Index, a questionnaire that measures and detects changing trends in relation to stigma and discrimination experienced by PLHIV, was used as the survey tool. The study was conducted in 10 clinics in four provinces supported by the Foundation for Professional Development (FPD), with an interview total of 486 PLHIV. A cross-sectional design was implemented in the study, and both descriptive and inferential analysis was conducted on the data. Findings suggest that PLHIV in this population experience significant levels of stigma and discrimination that negatively impact on their health, working and family life, as well as their access to health services. Internalised stigma was prominent, with many participants blaming themselves for their status. The findings can be used to develop and inform programmes and interventions to reduce stigma experienced by PLHIV. The current measures for dealing with stigma should be expanded to incorporate the issues related to health, education and discrimination experienced in the workplace, that were highlighted by the study.
