Stigma and discrimination are major barriers in the global fight against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The aim of this study was to create an analytical inventory of worldwide research output in AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. SciVerse Scopus was used for the study period from 1980 to 2017 to retrieve literature in AIDS-related stigma and discrimination. Results were presented as bibliometric tables and maps. In total, 2,509 documents were retrieved. Approximately 40% (n = 990) of the retrieved documents were published in the last 5 years (2013-2017). Retrieved documents received an average of 19.8 citations per article and had an average of 3.2 authors per article. The Hirsh index of the retrieved documents was 94. Most frequently encountered topics were mental health, adherence, adolescents, women, disclosure, and Africa. The USA contributed to 1,226 (48.9%) documents while the African region contributed to 531 (21.2%) documents. Research collaboration among most active countries was relatively low. Authors and institutions from the USA dominated this field. AIDS Care was the most active journal in publishing documents in this field with 307 (13.4%) documents while documents published in Social Medicine journal received the highest citations. Research in AIDS-related stigma and discrimination had witnessed a noticeable increase in the past decade, but the overall number of publications is considered insignificant relative to the size of the problem and the global number of infected people. There was a relative underpresentation of literature from African region despite the fact that more than two-thirds of HIV-infected people in the world are living in Africa.
污名和歧视是全球防治人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和获得性免疫缺陷综合征（AIDS）的主要障碍。本研究旨在对与艾滋病相关的污名和歧视的全球研究成果进行分析性编目。研究期间使用 SciVerse Scopus 从 1980 年到 2017 年检索与艾滋病相关的污名和歧视方面的文献。结果以文献计量表和地图的形式呈现。共检索到 2509 篇文献。检索到的文献中约有 40%（n=990）发表于最近 5 年（2013-2017 年）。检索到的文献平均每篇文章被引 19.8 次，平均每篇文章有 3.2 位作者。检索到的文献的 Hirsch 指数为 94。最常遇到的主题是心理健康、依从性、青少年、妇女、披露和非洲。美国贡献了 1226 篇（48.9%）文献，而非洲区域贡献了 531 篇（21.2%）文献。最活跃的国家之间的合作研究相对较低。来自美国的作者和机构在该领域占据主导地位。AIDS Care 是发表该领域文献最多的期刊，共发表了 307 篇（13.4%）文献，而 Social Medicine 杂志发表的文献获得的引用最多。过去十年，与艾滋病相关的污名和歧视的研究明显增加，但与问题的规模和全球感染人数相比，发表的文献总数仍微不足道。尽管世界上三分之二以上的 HIV 感染者生活在非洲，但来自非洲区域的文献相对较少。
