HIV stigma experiences and stigmatisation before and after a HIV stigma-reduction community "hub" intervention.

This study sought to explore, describe and determine whether an HIV stigma-reduction community "hub" intervention would change the HIV stigma experiences of people living with HIV (PLWH) and the stigmatisation by the community in an urban area in South Africa. A convergent parallel mixed-method design with a single case pre-test post-test design and an interpretive description approach was utilised. The sample for this study included 62 PLWH recruited through accessibility sampling and 570 community members recruited through random voluntary sampling.

Psychosocial well-being of people living with HIV and the community before and after a HIV stigma-reduction community "hub" network intervention.

The purpose of the research was to determine whether an HIV stigma-reduction community "hub" network intervention in a South African urban area would bring about a difference in the psychosocial well-being of people living with HIV (PLWH), as well as their community (living in the same municipal ward). A single case pre-test post-test design was implemented. The sample for this study included 62 PLWH who were selected through accessibility sampling and 570 community members who were selected through random voluntary sampling.
