The results of the Stigma Index Survey are being released at the the 7th SA AIDS conference. The survey reveals that while experiences of stigma and discrimination from other people are relatively rare, stigma directed at oneself (internalised stigma) is a big issue. These results will give SANAC the evidence it needs to develop a tailored stigma reduction campaign (see pages 7 and 8).

The fifth issue of Positive Magazine provides us with a snapshot of the key findings of the Stigma Index survey in an easy-to-understand infographic format. We have reproduced the infographic here. The fifth issue of Positive Magazine is out now and will be available at the SA AIDS conference.
