Abstract

The study provides evidence in support of an effective national response to addressing stigma faced by people living with HIV and other high-risk groups and guide future research on the subject. In India, tackling stigma is yet to receive major impetus in HIV prevention and care programmes. Only a few locally developed small-scale interventions are reported so far. While some of the interventions developed in other countries may also be adapted in India, there is lack of easy access to India-specific information on stigma and discrimination, especially what interventions work or not in which situations.
