CAMPILLAY CAMPILLAY, Maggie  y  MONARDEZ MONARDEZ, Maribel. Stigma and discrimination in people with HIV/AIDS, an ethical challenge for health professionals. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.47, pp.93-107.  Epub 16-Dic-2019. ISSN 1886-5887.

This article aims to reflect on the situation of stigma and discrimination affecting people with HIV/AIDS. This constitutes a violation of the fundamental rights of these people and a barrier to progress towards the elimination of the disease. Studies carried out in different countries show that people in this condition feel discriminated against by society and by health professionals. This is one of the aspects that has hindered access to treatment, adherence, and behaviour change education in at-risk groups.

Palabras clave : stigma; discrimination; HIV; AIDS; global health; health relationships; access to health; deontology.
