Perceptions of HIV-related Stigma in Portugal among MSM with HIV infection and an Undetectable Viral Load

We explored perceptions of HIV-related stigma using a qualitative approach based on the findings of in-depth email asynchronous interviews with 37 self-identified Portuguese men who have sex with men (MSM) with HIV infection and undetectable viral loads. Participants were asked to answer an online interview. Major findings concerned external perceptions of HIV-related stigma, HIV status disclosure, the impact of HIV on everyday life, the presence of double discrimination, and general perceptions of HIV-related stigma.
