Stigma and discrimination experiences of HIV-positive men who have sex with men in Cape Town, South Africa

We examined the introduction of PMTCT services in a very poor rural area of the Eastern Cape, South Africa, to assess the context's impact on the provision of this service. Our approach involved 13 individual in…
