| HIV/AIDS Stigma Scale for Puerto Rican health professionals in training | The scale addresses 12 HIV/AIDS stigma dimensions: "fear of infection, emotions associated with HIV/AIDS, closeness to death, PLWHA as vectors of infection, lack of productivity of PLWH A, personal characteristics of PLWHA that foster infection, need to control PLWHA, rights of PLWHA, body signs of HIV/AIDS, responsibility over infection, PLWHA as obliged to reveal serostatus, and the influence of structural factors in HIV infection". The response items are on a five-point Likert-type scale with values ranging from strongly disagree (one) to strongly agree (five). Because of low reliabiltiy (0.43), the structural concerns factor and its items were dropped from the reduced Spanish HIV/AIDS Stigma Scale. | N. Varas-Diaz., & Neilandsb, T. B. (2009).
