People Living with HIV Stigma Index: Results from 3 Provinces in Lao PDR (Luangprabang, Vientiane Capital and Champasack)

In this report, we present the results of the People Living with HIV (PLHIV) Stigma Index Survey conducted in Lao P.D.R. from October 2011-February 2012. Through these results, we aim to shed light on the HIV-related stigma and discrimination situation in the country, contribute to the exploration of the large biosocial mechanisms that affect stigma and the epidemic, and propose comprehensive interventions to battle HIV-related stigma and discrimination.
