HIV/AIDS provider stigma has been understudied in the context of prevention, testing, and treatment. Results of a survey of persons associated with HIV/AIDS education, health care, and social service delivery in the Eastern Caribbean are described. Reliable constructs were observed for warmth towards PLHA, comfort in association with them, tendencies to distance from or condemn them, beliefs in viral transmission myths, and perceived capacity to counsel effectively. Most discrimination was directed towards MSM and IDUs. Providers whose roles were likely to involve touch felt less comfortable around PLHA and more likely to distance from and condemn them than providers whose roles were not. Implications for improved measurement and incorporation of mindfulness techniques in stigma intervention are discussed.
在预防、检测和治疗的背景下，针对艾滋病毒/艾滋病服务提供者的污名化问题研究较少。本文描述了对东加勒比地区从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病教育、医疗保健和社会服务提供工作的人员进行的一项调查结果。观察到了一些可靠的指标，包括对艾滋病毒感染者的热情程度、与他们交往时的舒适度、疏远或谴责他们的倾向、对病毒传播谣言的相信程度以及有效咨询的感知能力。大多数歧视针对的是男男性行为者和注射吸毒者。与那些工作中不太可能涉及身体接触的服务提供者相比，那些工作角色可能涉及身体接触的服务提供者在艾滋病毒感染者周围会感觉不太自在，更有可能疏远和谴责他们。文中还讨论了改进测量方法以及将正念技巧纳入污名干预措施的意义。
