Abstract
Stigma and discrimination are one of the important challenges in coping with HIV infection. Stigma and discrimination are universal phenomenon for the epidemic of HIV and exposure to people with HIV. The present study aimed to develop and measure psychometrically the HIV/AIDS Stigma and discrimination scale from the general population viewpoint in southeast Iran. Data collection lasted from May to September 2016. The results showed that the �HIV/AIDS Stigma and discrimination scale� had an acceptable internal consistency and stability (Cronbach�s alpha coefficient = 0.69, omega coefficient = 0.7, and r = 0.57, p = 0.001). The scale had acceptable content and face validities. The Principal Axis Factoring (PAF) with varimax rotation analysis shows that the scale has 4 dimensions: �patient social position� (5 items), �social support� (4 items), �social disease perspective� (7 items), and �social harassment� (2 items). In general, the psychometric properties of �HIV/AIDS Stigma and discrimination scale� are acceptable, and this scale can be used in studies. © The Author(s) 2020
