Background Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is only one part of a successful range of care among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Stigma and low social support are emerging issues worsening the success of ART for PLWHA. This study thus aimed to investigate the level of perceived stigma among PLWHA. Methods An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Nekemte, western Ethiopia. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify associations between perceived stigma and low social support, depression, and other potential predictor variables using SPSS version 24.0 and adjusted odds ratios (AORs), considering statistical significance at p <0.05. Results A total of 418 study participants were included in the study, with a response rate of 100%. About 48.6% of PLWHA had experienced perceived stigma, and more than two-fifths had poor social support. The following factors were associated with perceived stigma among PLWHA: age (18–29 years) (AOR=4.88, 95% CI:1.76–13.5), female sex (AOR=2.10, 95% CI 1.15–3.82), <12 months on ART (AOR=2.63, 95% CI 1.09–6.34), depression (AOR=1.86, 95% CI 1.08–3.19), social support (poor: AOR=3.45, 95% CI 1.65–7.23; medium: AOR=2.22, 95% CI 1.09–4.54), and non-disclosure of HIV status (AOR=2.00, 95% CI 1.11–3.59). Conclusion and Recommendation The magnitude of perceived stigma among PLWHA was high, highlighting the importance of integrating social and mental health support within standard ART for PLWHA.

Social support is a fundamental element of every individual’s life. It promotes the feeling of being loved, valued, and respected, especially for the person with HIV/AIDS infection. Quality of life is the ability of an individual to have a good and regular life. Health and well-being are the key factors in gaining high quality of life. Therefore, to attain an appropriate quality of life, giving social support to patients with HIV/AIDS is compulsory. This research investigated the relationship between social support and HIV/AIDS patients’ quality of life. This study used a correlational design associated with a cross-sectional approach. This research involved all of the patients with HIV/AIDS in Yayasan Cahaya Kasih Peduli AIDS WPA Turen. The data analysis used the Spearman rank correlation test. The finding of the research showed that 1 (2.2%) obtained less social support, 9 (20.0%) obtained sufficient social support, and 35 (77.8%) obtained optimal social support. However, life quality 1 (2.2%) assimilates low life quality, 10 (22.2%) assimilates an average life quality, and 34 (75.6%) assimilates a high life quality. The result from the Spearman rank correlation test appeared with the signification value (sig)= 0.000 < 0.05, and then H1 was accepted; hence it was discovered that there is a positive correlation between social support and quality of life in HIV/AIDS patients. Keywords: social support, quality of life, and patients with HIV/AIDS

“…HIV/AIDS has been depicted as a definitive bio-psychosocial phenomenon as it harms not the body's defense mechanism, but also the social system of an individual (Wani & Sankar, 2017). After disclosure of being HIV positive the individual may experience difficulties in social relations due to stigmatization, which is an influential stressor for HIV positive individuals.…”

The present study intended to observe the connection between social relations, suicidal probability, and quality of life among HIV (Human Immunodeficient Virus) positive individuals. This study was conducted at Government College University Faisalabad from April 2016 to February 2017. A sample has consisted of 100 diagnosed as HIV positive married men and married women with age ranging from 22 to 50 years old (M = 33.3, SD = 7.2). Data was collected using purposive sampling. To measure the variables e.g. social relations, suicidal probability, and quality of life, the Provision of Social Relations Scale (PSR), Suicidal Probability Scale (SPS), and Quality of Life (QOL) Scales were used. Linear Regression along with an independent sample t-test was run to analyze data by using SPSS 22. Results of Linear Regression analysis indicated that the total score of social relations significantly negatively predicted suicidal probability but positively predicted the four domains of quality of life (physical, psychological, social, and environment). While Suicidal probability negatively contributed to the quality of life. The findings of the t-test showed that HIV-positive males had better social relations as well as a quality of life than HIV-positive females. There was also a significant gender difference in the level of suicidal probability as women scored high than men. The study emphasized the importance of social relations especially care from family. Better social relations predicted better quality of life. Better social relations predicted low suicidal probability. Keywords: HIV, Social Relation, Suicidal Probability, Quality of Life.
