A growing population of youth who acquired HIV from their mothers are surviving into adulthood. This group is unique in that they experience both internalized stigma (due to their HIV status) and associative stigma (due to their mothers' HIV status). Results of a cross-sectional survey of 250 perinatally HIV-infected South African youth suggests that internalized stigma is associated with greater risk of depression, and associative stigma is associated with greater risk of depression and substance use problems. Interventions currently focus on internalized stigma; this study highlights the importance of also addressing associative stigma to improve outcomes among perinatally HIV-infected youth.
越来越多的青少年通过母婴传播感染了 HIV，并存活到成年。这群人很独特，他们既经历内在污名（由于他们的 HIV 状况），也经历连带污名（由于他们母亲的 HIV 状况）。对 250 名南非围产期感染 HIV 的青少年进行的横断面调查结果表明，内在污名与更大的抑郁风险相关，连带污名与更大的抑郁和物质使用问题风险相关。目前的干预措施主要集中在内在污名上；这项研究强调了也解决连带污名的重要性，以改善围产期感染 HIV 的青少年的结果。
