  • Association between HIV/Aids knowledge and stigma towards people living with HIV/Aids in Botswana

    Sandra Letshwenyo-Maruatona, Montlenyane Madisa et al.ARTICLEAfrican Journal of AIDS Research2019

    In Botswana, an estimated 350 000 people live with HIV/AIDS. HIV/AIDS testing rates are low, suggesting that many other people remain undiagnosed. Stigma related to HIV/AIDS is prevalent and contributes to low testing rates and under-diagnosis of the virus. Identifying factors that contribute to stigma, such as insufficient or inaccurate knowledge of HIV/AIDS, may be critical in increasing early identification and treatment. This cross-sectional …
