The aim of this study was to examine the role or internalized stigma and the perception of discrimination in relation to the self esteem of People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Jakarta, Indonesia. It would appear that negative stigmatization and discrimination towards PLWA in Indonesia have risen rapidly, in line with the increase in the number of people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. The instruments employed were the Rosenberg Internalized Stigma, Perception of Discrimination, and Self Esteem scales. The participants in this study were PLWHA (N = 96), living in Jakarta, with an age range of 15 to 59 years. The results of regression analysis indicated that internalized stigma (t = 1.31; p > .05) and the perception of discrimination (t = - 0.50; p > .05) played no role in predicting self esteem amongst PLWHA.

One of the most prominent s-commerce among Gen Y is Instagram as this social networking site enables users to browse online stores through its visual interface via mobile device. They are also used to online shop through this platform.

Online buying decision process framework by Karimi (2013) was adapted for this purpose. The interview was carefully transcribed and analysed using qualitative content analysis (Mayring, 2000).
