This study aimed to assess, through health metrics and bibliometric analysis, the global research on attitudes and social stigma of people living with HIV/AIDS and to identify research findings, gaps, and future directions. A cross-sectional bibliometric study was conducted through a structured search in different databases. Fifteen thousand four hundred and ninety-six documents were found between 1981 and 2024. 83.5% were original articles, and international co-authorship was 30.66%. Since 2000, there has been an increase in research on HIV/AIDS attitudes and social stigma. The United States is the most prolific country worldwide (n = 7837 publications; 50.5%), with the highest number of prolific institutions (n = 4/5), as well as the greatest influence and relevance in research (h-index 170). The most studied topics worldwide are social support and social psychology concerning homosexuality, middle age, and youth in people living with HIV/AIDS. There was no significant correlation between the volume of publications, countries' income levels, and the most prolific geographic regions with adult HIV prevalence, overall HIV incidence and prevalence, or antiretroviral therapy coverage in people living with HIV ( > 0.05 for all cases). Over the past two decades, research has shifted from human rights, legal rights, and ethics to attitudes toward healthcare, with the recent interest in pre-exposure prophylaxis, gender minorities, and intersectional stigma. The absence of strong correlations between publications volume and global health HIV-related indicators underscores the necessity of translating evidence into actionable strategies to reduce stigma and improve health outcomes.
本研究旨在通过健康指标和文献计量分析，评估全球关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者态度和社会耻辱感的研究，并确定研究结果、差距和未来方向。通过在不同数据库中进行结构化检索，开展了一项横断面文献计量研究。在1981年至2024年期间共找到15496份文献。其中83.5%为原创文章，国际合著率为30.66%。自2000年以来，关于艾滋病毒/艾滋病态度和社会耻辱感的研究有所增加。美国是全球发文量最多的国家（n = 7837篇出版物；占50.5%），拥有发文量最多的机构数量（n = 4/5），在研究中的影响力和相关性也最大（h指数为170）。全球研究最多的主题是与艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者中的同性恋、中年人和年轻人相关的社会支持和社会心理学。出版物数量、国家收入水平以及发文量最多的地理区域与成人艾滋病毒流行率、艾滋病毒总体发病率和流行率或艾滋病毒感染者的抗逆转录病毒治疗覆盖率之间均无显著相关性（所有情况的P值均>0.05）。在过去二十年中，研究重点已从人权、法律权利和伦理转向对医疗保健的态度，最近又关注暴露前预防、性别少数群体和交叉耻辱感。出版物数量与全球艾滋病毒相关健康指标之间缺乏强相关性，这凸显了将证据转化为可采取行动的战略以减少耻辱感并改善健康结果的必要性。
