discrimination or stigmatization

What are Some Examples of Discrimination and Stigmatization in Epidemiology?

Several diseases have been historically associated with stigmatization. For example, individuals with HIV/AIDS often face significant stigma and discrimination, which can deter them from getting tested or receiving treatment. Similarly, during the COVID-19 pandemic, certain ethnic groups experienced heightened discrimination and blame, which not only affected their mental health but also their willingness to engage in preventive measures.
