AIDS stigma is expressed around the world in a variety of ways, including: ostracism, rejection, and avoidance of PLWHA, discrimination and violence against PLWHA, compulsory HIV testing without prior consent or protection of confidentiality, and quarantine of persons with HIV. AIDS stigma inflicts suffering on people and interferes with attempts to fight the epidemic. (Herek, 2004)
