For this study we conducted in-depth interviews with 29 youth living with HIV (YLWH) and key informant interviews with 8 HIV care/support providers. We describe terms used to portray people living with HIV (PLWH) in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Labels commonly used, mostly derogatory, described PLWH as walking corpses, dangers to others, or people deserving to die before others get infected. Blame and other accusations were directed at PLWH through anchoring or objectification. Being labeled sometimes made these youth suffer in silence, afraid to disclose their status, or avoid performing actions in public, preferring to let others do them. YLWH need psychosocial support to mitigate the harmful effects of these labels and strengthen their coping skills, whereas community, institutional, and national efforts are needed for stigma reduction.
在本研究中，我们对29名感染艾滋病毒的青年（YLWH）进行了深入访谈，并对8名艾滋病毒护理/支持提供者进行了关键信息人访谈。我们描述了刚果民主共和国金沙萨用于描绘艾滋病毒感染者（PLWH）的术语。常用的标签大多带有贬义，将艾滋病毒感染者描述为行尸走肉、对他人构成危险或在他人感染之前就该死的人。通过锚定或客体化，指责和其他指控指向了艾滋病毒感染者。被贴上标签有时会让这些青年默默忍受痛苦，害怕透露自己的感染状况，或避免在公共场合采取行动，宁愿让别人去做。感染艾滋病毒的青年需要心理社会支持来减轻这些标签的有害影响并增强他们的应对技能，而减少耻辱感则需要社区、机构和国家的共同努力。
