About Internalized AIDS-Related Stigma Scale
Internalized AIDS-Related Stigma Scale (IA-RSS) Items for this scale were adapted from a reliable and valid measure of community-held AIDS-related stigmas in the South African general population. We selected six items from the AIDS-Related Stigma Scale (Kalichman et al., 2005) and reframed the wording to represent negative self-perceptions and self-abasement in relation to being a person living with HIV/AIDS.
The items included in the IA-RSS reflect Goffman’s (1963) dimensions of stigma and focus on self-blame and concealment of HIV status: it is difficult to tell people about my HIV infection; being HIV positive makes me feel dirty; I feel guilty that I am HIV positive; am ashamed that I am HIV positive; Isometimes feel worthless because Iam HIV positive; I hide my HIV status from others. To simplify administration, the items were responded to dichotomously, 1Agree, 0Disagree; scale scores represent the sum total of endorsed stigma items, range 06, with higher scores representing greater internalized stigma.
