“…Previous studies also found conflicting findings. 11,26 In addition, previous studies found that HCPs who were working with high HIV case-load had lower stigmatized attitudes scores compared to HCPs with low HIV case-load. 1,30,31 This study found that stigmatized attitudes toward PLHIV among HCPs with low HIV case-load were very common.…”

“…The items were selected from previous research. 11,26 To measure the stigmatized attitudes, the HCPs were asked to rate each item on a five-point Likert scale, indicating their agreement or disagreement (1 -Disagree strongly; 2 -Disagree somewhat; 3 -Neither agree nor disagree; 4 -Agree somewhat; and 5 -Strongly agree). The higher the score on this scale, the higher the level of stigmatized attitudes.…”

Aim: To identify the levels of stigmatized attitudes toward people living with HIV (PLHIV)and their predictors among health care providers (HCPs) in Aceh, the lowest HIV prevalence province in Indonesia.Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in seven regencies in Aceh.Structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 589 HCPs (doctors, nurses, midwifes and supporting staffs). Univariate analyses including one-way analysis of variance, ttest and correlation test were performed according to data type. Multiple linear regression was conducted to identify the predictors of stigmatized attitudes. Results and discussion:The level of HIV-stigmatized attitudes among HCPs in Aceh was high.Univariate analysis revealed that location, experience of direct contact with PLHIV, knowledge on HIV transmission and prevention, value-driven stigma and overestimated risk to HIV transmission were associated significantly with stigmatized attitudes levels (P < 0.05).

Methods:A cross sectional analytical design using a simple random sampling technique to select 422 HIV positive patients attending the adult HIV clinics from two public health care institutions in Imo State. Data was collected using a pretested semi structured questionnaire. Descriptive analyses were done with frequencies and summary statistics. Chi square statistics were computed to determine significant relationships and simple binary logistic regression was used to determine predictors of HIV related discrimination. The p-value was set at 0.05 significance level.
