伴随艾滋病流行病而来的是公众对被认为感染了人体免疫缺陷病毒（艾滋病毒）的人的强烈负面反应。在这篇文章中，我们将这种反应定义为艾滋病相关的污名。我们讨论了这种耻辱的两个主要来源：艾滋病作为一种致命疾病的识别和艾滋病在美国已经污名化的群体，特别是男同性恋者的协会。我们描述了一些社会和心理过程，有助于艾滋病相关的耻辱，并提供建议，通过公共政策和个人教育消除耻辱。
The AIDS epidemic has been accompanied by intensely negative public reactions to persons presumed to be infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In this article, we define such reactions as AIDS-related stigma. We discuss two major sources of this stigma: the identification of AIDS as a deadly disease and the association of AIDS in the United States with already stigmatized groups, especially gay men. We describe some of the social and psychological processes that contribute to AIDS-related stigma and offer suggestions for eradicating stigma through public policy and individual education.
