Gender inequality, potentially, makes women and girls more vulnerable to the condition than men. The aim of this article is to explore existing differences by comparing females' and males' experiences of the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS. In this qualitative study examining gender-based discrimination, interviews were carried out with a sample of 16 participants and analyzed. Findings revealed that the stigma experienced by PLWHIV is layered and that the enactment of the stigma varies according to gender-based traditional roles as well as socio-economic status. Furthermore the heterosexual female's position in terms of stigma shows a duality - married women are tolerated better than single females living with HIV. Additionally transgendered people are blamed and oppressed the most. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Gender Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
