dc.description.abstractHIV prevention programmes should take into account levels of social stigma, especially among the disadvantaged, and act carefully not to increase it. This paper examines associations between poverty and other variables and a stigmatising attitude – the belief that HIV/AIDS is a punishment for sinning. The level of HIV/AIDS stigma in Tanzania is high (although the estimated adult HIV prevalence of 6% is much lower than in many countries). This attitude is associated with several disadvantages: poverty, less education and living in rural areas. Survivors of intimate partner violence are also more likely to have a stigmatising attitude.en
