HIV/AIDS, stigma and children : a literature review

Summary

A crucial contribution to the literature on HIV/AIDS and society, this resource looks at the stigma and discrimination that can affect already physically and psychologically ailing children, their families, and their communities. Providing an overview of the available writings and resources, this study looks specifically at what can be done with regard to the stigma, hoping to develop more effective ways to assist them in dealing with discrimination and ultimately leading to better social attitudes toward children and the disease itself.
