Stigma Attitudes Toward People Living With HIV (Ages 15–49)

Stigma Attitudes Among Adults (Ages 15–49)
Despite progress in HIV awareness, stigma and discrimination remain widespread. Many adults still hold attitudes that isolate people living with HIV (PLHIV) in everyday life. This infographic shares findings from a UNAIDS survey and highlights the need for change:

Children with HIV attending school with HIV-negative children

• Males: 54% said Yes, 46% said No
• Females: 52.6% said Yes, 47.4% said No
  → While slightly more supportive, nearly half of adults still oppose children with HIV learning alongside others.

Why this matters

• Stigma discourages HIV testing and treatment.
• It isolates people living with HIV and fuels misinformation.
• Combating stigma requires education, community dialogue, and policies that protect equal rights.
