Popis: HIV has created health and socio-economic challenges for Caribbean societies. The HIV prevalence in the Caribbean is high and rates second to that of sub-Saharan Africa. One of the main barriers affecting interventions in the Caribbean is the pervasiveness of stigma and discrimination against persons living with HIV (PLHIV) and marginalized groups. This paper will focus on how theory can be used by social workers, including social workers in the Caribbean, in their work with PLHIV. Initiatives taken within social work education to prepare social workers to adequately address HIV-related stigma and discrimination are discussed.
