Abstract

Stigma remains a significant challenge for people living with HIV/AIDS(PLWHA) despite the advances that have been made in HIV care and treatment. It is known to affect health care outcomes including care seeking habits and medication adherence. In addition to contributing to poor health outcomes, stigma is known to increase the risk of developing mental health disorders. Various researchers have found a correlation between stigma and mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, mental distress, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal ideation. The aim of this review is to explore the association between stigma and mental health disorders in PLWHA. It identifies common mental health disorders found in people living with HIV and how these disorders are linked to stigma. The review also identifies how stigma and mental health disorders affect healthcare outcomes of PLWHA. The review concludes by providing a number of measures that can help to end stigma and improve overall health outcomes of PLWHA. Keywords: stigma, HIV-related stigma, HIV/AIDS, mental health disorders, people living with HIV/AIDS

艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的耻辱感与心理健康障碍之间的相关性

尽管在艾滋病毒护理和治疗方面取得了进步，但耻辱感仍然是艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWHA）面临的一项重大挑战。众所周知，污名化会影响医疗保健结果，包括求医习惯和坚持服药。众所周知，污名化除了会导致不良的健康后果外，还会增加罹患精神疾病的风险。多位研究人员发现，成见与抑郁、焦虑、精神痛苦、压力、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）和自杀意念等精神疾病之间存在相关性。本综述旨在探讨污名化与 PLWHA 心理健康障碍之间的关联。综述指出了艾滋病毒感染者中常见的心理健康障碍，以及这些障碍与污名化之间的联系。综述还确定了污名化和精神障碍如何影响 PLWHA 的医疗结果。综述最后提供了一些有助于消除耻辱感和改善 PLWHA 整体健康结果的措施。关键词：污名化、与艾滋病毒相关的污名化、艾滋病毒/艾滋病、心理健康障碍、艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者
