- - Advances in health have made HIV more manageable, but stigma and discrimination continue to hinder efforts to end the pandemic in Ghana by 2030, prompting a study on the experiences of people with HIV (PWH) in healthcare settings.
- - A mixed-methods study with 420 participants found that 13.8% had experienced stigma, primarily in communities and homes, with common forms including gossip, verbal harassment, and physical assault affecting access to healthcare and mental health.
- - Key predictors of stigma included being female and having TB-HIV co-infection, while self-employed individuals reported lower odds of facing stigma at clinics, indicating social dynamics in stigma experiences among PWH.
