Faculty of Medicine University of Jaffna Sri Lanka HIV AIDS Stigma Discussion
Question Description
I’m working on a psychology question and need guidance to help me learn.

- Why do you think even though HIV-positive patients who receive treatment are expected to live a normal life, HIV-AIDS stigma is still very present in our society?
- In comparison to cancer:
- Why do you think the stigma about cancer is less present?
- Do you think the way of infection plays a role in our conception of both diseases?
