Associations Between Healthcare Discrimination, Medical Mistrust, and Covid-19 Vaccine Uptake Among Young Black Adults in the Southern United States

HIV-related stigma remains a significant barrier to antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among people with HIV (PWH). Internalized stigma has been consistently linked to poorer ART adherence. However, the role of disclosure concerns, worries or fears about revealing one’s HIV status, remains unclear. This study examines whether disclosure concerns moderate the relationship between internalized stigma and ART adherence among PWH in the Dominican…

Out-of-date HIV knowledge among healthcare workers (HCW) can hinder the quality of care for people with HIV (PWH) and contribute to stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors. However, the role of HIV knowledge on stigma and mechanisms underlying HCWs' attitudes and behaviors remain understudied. This study examined empathy and social distance as mediators in the relationship between HIV knowledge and stigma toward PWH among HCWs. Cross-sectional data …

Integrating stigma-reduction strategies and targeted mental health support into postnatal HIV care may be critical for improving psychological and phys…
