It highlights that stigma remains a significant challenge despite advancements in HIV care and treatment, affecting healthcare outcomes and increasing the risk of mental health issues.

The article also discusses interventions to reduce HIV-related stigma, including integrating mental health services into HIV care programs, implementing structural approaches, providing counseling and support, and raising awareness. These interventions aim to improve overall health outcomes and reduce the negative impacts of stigma on PLWHA.The article explores the correlation between stigma and mental health disorders in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA).
