This book addresses the relationship between high school students’
HIV and AIDS knowledge and their stigma-related attitudes/perceptions of
people living with HIV (PLHIV) in the Caribbean and South Pacific, with
a view to designing effective stigma-reduction combined intervention
programs.
Presenting an international cross-sectional
study using a purposive sample of high school students from Fiji (South
Pacific), Vanuatu (South Pacific), Guyana, and Antigua & Barbuda
(Caribbean) to assess HIV and AIDS knowledge and stigma-related
attitudes by gender, age, religion, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic
status, the book shows how stigmatizing attitudes and beliefs negatively
impact interventions to prevent and treat HIV and AIDS.
