These results suggest that PWH may tend to internalize HIV-related stigma when they experience acts of stigmatization or perceive negative attitudes in society, which in turn may result in negative effects on psychological and physical well-being. These findings about how stigma in society may be an antecedent mechanism for PWH to develop internalized stigma, which in turn affects individual health outcomes, can be used to tailor both individual-level and community-level interventions.
