The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning that being stigmatized has for persons with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The research question for this investigation was, What is the perception of stigmatization as experienced by persons with AIDS? Phenomenology provided both the theoretical framework and the method for this study. The sample consisted of 10 homosexual men contacted through a New Orleans hospice, home health nurses, the investigator's own personal contacts, and referrals from men who were in the project. Participants were asked open-ended questions pertaining to changes in their relationships with others since diagnosis, changes in self-esteem, and examples of prejudice and discrimination. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using a qualitative approach. The phenomenon of stigmatization emerged as experiences of rejection and protection in social interactions.
