Stigma, activism, and well-being among people living with HIV.
The researchers examined associations between experiences of HIV stigma and HIV activism, and test whether HIV activists benefit from greater well-being than non-activists. Their results suggest that HIV activists reported greater social network integration, greater social well-being, greater engagement in active coping with discrimination, and greater meaning in life than non-activists.

Framing HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for the general public: How inclusive messaging may prevent prejudice from diminishing public support.
The authors examined how public attitudes toward HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) differed based on the social group PrEP was described as benefiting and the moderating effect of prejudice. They found a disparity in support that was stronger among participants reporting greater prejudice and concluded that inclusive framing of PrEP in public discourse may prevent prejudice from undermining implementation efforts.

Stigma toward men who have sex with men among future healthcare providers in Malaysia: would more interpersonal contact reduce prejudice?
This study sought to inform interventions to reduce stigma toward men who have sex with men (MSM) living in countries with strong stigma toward MSM, particularly among healthcare providers. It found that multivariate analyses of variance suggest that medical and dental students who had interpersonal contact with MSM were less prejudiced toward and had lower intentions to discriminate against MSM.
