Discrimination, stigma, and AIDS: a review of academic literature produced in Brazil (2005-2010)

Given the implications of stigma for HIV/AIDS prevention and control of the epidemic, as emphasized by UNAIDS, this study analyzes the Brazilian academic production on health, AIDS, stigma, and discrimination, available in the SciELO database from 2005 to 2010. Brazilian research on the theme is modest as compared to the international literature, but the studies follow
the same trend of focusing on individual experiences of discrimination as opposed to analysis of stigma and discrimination as social processes
associated with power relations and domination (macro-social structures) and the characteristics of individuals and social groups that shape social interactions. The current study seeks to analyze the reasons for the scarcity of studies on the social perspective towards stigma and discrimination in the field of public health and the implications for the development of proposals to
deal with HIV/AIDS-related discrimination (AU)
