Thinking About AIDS and Stigma: A Psychologist’s Perspective

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 January 2021

Extract

As Jonathan Mann observed, the problem of AIDS-related stigma is inextricably bound to issues of health, human rights, and the law. Such stigma translates into feelings of fear and hostility directed at people with HIV. It finds expression in avoidance and ostracism of people with HIV, discrimination and violence against them, and public support for punitive policies and laws that restrict civil liberties while hindering AIDS prevention efforts. Being the target of stigma inflicts pain, isolation, and hardship on many people with HIV, while the desire to avoid it deters some from being tested for HIV, seeking treatment, or practicing risk-reduction.

The category of “people with HIV” includes people diagnosed with AIDS as well as those who are asymptomatic. In the present article, I generally frame the discussion in terms of people with HIV The exception is in my discussion of some public opinion data and some specific incidents that refer specifically to people with AIDS.Google Scholar

In his classic analysis of stigma, for example, Goffman paid relatively little notice to how a particular characteristic or condition comes to be stigmatized in the first place, taking this to be largely a given, a part of the social structure. Instead, he focused mainly on how stigma affects face-to-face encounters.Google Scholar

The total 1999 sample included 666 respondents who were recontacted after participating in a similar 1997 survey as well as 669 new respondents. Some data from the 1999 interviews with the recontacted participants have been reported elsewhere (Herek, Capitanio, , and Widaman, , supra note 21). Respondents were included in the present analyses only if they identified themselves as heterosexual in a screening question. Because of missing data for some variables, the sample size for the correlation coefficients shown in Table 1 ranged from 1,197 to 1,258. For the regression analysis, the sample size was 1,185. Details about the sampling methods, response rates, interview procedures, and other aspects of the methodology, including the wording of individual items, are reported in Herek, Capitanio, , and Widaman, , supra note 21; Herek, G.M., “Gender Gaps in Public Opinion About Lesbians and Gay Men,” Public Opinion Quarterly, 66 (2002): 4066; Herek, G.M., “Heterosexuals’ Attitudes Toward Bisexual Men and Women in the United States,” Journal of Sex Research, 39 (2002): In press.CrossRefGoogle Scholar
This index was computed by counting the number of stigmatizing responses each person gave to nine different items designed to measure various aspects of AIDS-related stigma. The items assessed the extent to which respondents felt angry, disgusted, and afraid of people with AIDS; would avoid interacting with a person with AIDS in an office; would have their child avoid an HIV-infected schoolmate; would refrain from shopping at a neighborhood grocery store whose owner had AIDS; supported quarantining people with AIDS; believed that the names of those with AIDS should be made public; and believed that those who were infected through sex or drug use got what they deserved. More information about this measure is reported in Herek, Capitanio, , and Widaman, , supra note 21.Google Scholar
The variables listed in Table 1 were derived from a series of exploratory analyses with a larger number of variables. The variables of marital status, number of children, race, and political party affiliation displayed negligible correlations with AIDS stigma and were dropped from the analysis. A “negligible” correlation was operationally defined as r <0.10 (i.e., the variable shared less than 1 percent of variance with the AIDS stigma index).Google Scholar
The coefficients can potentially range from −1.00 to +1.00, with values near zero indicating little or no association between the two variables and values near −1.00 or +1.00 indicating a strong association. The sign of the coefficient indicates the direction of the relationship. A positive coefficient means that as values of one variable increased, values of the other also increased; a negative coefficient means that as values of one variable increased, values of the other decreased.Google Scholar

A correlation coefficient less than r = 0.14 means that the variable shares only about 1 percent of its variance with AIDS stigma scores. These associations are statistically significant mainly because the sample for the survey was relatively large, but they have little substantive importance in the present analysis.Google Scholar
Like correlation coefficients, values for β can potentially range from −1.00 to +1.00, with values near zero indicating that the variable has little or no predictive power and values near −1.00 or +1.00 indicating that the variable helps to explain a substantial amount of variation in AIDS stigma scores. As with correlation coefficients, the sign of β (positive or negative) indicates the direction of the relationship (see note 54, supra).Google Scholar

The stigma associated with injecting drug use is quite different from that associated with homosexuality. The American public shows growing acceptance of its gay and lesbian members and is increasingly willing to support their civil rights and liberties in many areas. Whereas homosexuality is widely considered to be irrelevant to an individual’s ability to function effectively in society, injecting drug use is generally considered a social evil and IDUs are regarded very negatively.
