Abstract
FERNANDEZ-SILVA, Carlos; HERNANDEZ-PEREZ, Francisco and VIDAL VIDAL, Edgar. Social stigmas towards people living with HIV in the Sars-CoV-2 vaccination process. Univ. Salud [online]. 2022, vol.24, suppl.1, pp.287-293. Epub Dec 28, 2022. ISSN 0124-7107. https://doi.org/10.22267/rus.222403.284.
Introduction:
Social stigmas in people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) have been part of their history and can still be identified in today's care environments.
Objective:
To analyze the social stigmas in relation to the care of people living with HIV by those who provide the anti Sars-CoV-2 vaccination service.
Materials and methods:
A descriptive quantitative research were developed that included a census sample of 126 people. The scale of social stigma in the care of people with HIV/AIDS (Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) was applied. The information was analyzed through SPSS version 25.
Results:
Most of the participants reported not knowing people with HIV, but they have been treated as users (54%) and considered that they are discriminated (88.1%). Although a low level of stigma was evidenced (71.4%), these are present in 85.7%. Having had contact as a user with people with HIV was associated with the level of stigma (p=0.008).
Conclusions:
It is necessary to promote training in which the complexity of the phenomenon is addressed and aspects such as social stigmas are identified, incorporating the biopsychosocial paradigm together with a gender perspective in favor of the comprehensive provision of care.
