Abstract
"This is a research report on the empirical study conducted among pregnant mothers to elicit their knowledge, opinion, attitude and to explore myths and misconceptions associated with HIV stigma and discrimination and the bioethical issues involved therewith. HIV stigma is explained as the prejudice, discounting, discrediting and discrimination directed at people perceived to have HIV or AIDS and at the individuals, groups and communities with which they are associated. AIDS is one of the most stigmatized disease in history. HIV-related stigma is multi-layered, deeply rooted, operating within the values of everyday life, stigma plays into, and reinforces, social inequalities. If we do not appreciate the nature and impact of stigma, none of our interventions can begin to be successful. "
