Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Dear FORUM, In a recent interaction with PLWHA, regarding problems faced due to stigma and discrimination, the vast majority told that they had manged to keep the HIV status aclosely guadred secret for fear of stigma nad dicrimination. As long as they were clinically healthy, they did not risk stigma and discrimination. Till the time when society can be learned enough to see the PLWHA with empathy and provide support, the non diclosure is a good survival strategy. Thei only fear of breach of confidentiality arises from health care sector : doctors openly writing HIV status on the OPD slips.
