Index of Stigma and Discrimination against People Living with HIV/AIDS in Thailand

Publications - Released in 2009

This research study on index of stigma and discrimination against HIV-positive people was aimed to promote and support the advocacy of human rights issues in Thailand. It was implemented by the Thai Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (TNP+) and supported by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).

Findings acquired through this project can enable both Thailand and other countries to understand these prevailing social phenomena in conjunction with national rights-related policies, inform program design aiming to resolve and reduce HIV stigma and discrimination issues at implementation level, and advocate for national-level policy.

Data collection took place in mid-2009 through interviews to gather past experiences of positive people in different parts of Thailand. Therefore, the data recorded were incidents that occurred between 2008-2009.
