Resumo(s)
HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination have been getting more and more attention by
researchers and policy-makers. Since stigma has direct impact on the way-of-living of PLHA1 and
their decision-making process, it can be an important key in the spread of HIV. Zimbabwe is one of
the countries with the highest HIV prevalence rates and, thus, it would be interesting to investigate
whether stigma had any impact on the course of the epidemic in that country.
My goal in this Work Project was to investigate the determinants of stigma at the individual level and
the impact of stigma on individual behaviour (namely condom use and testing).
