There is consensus about the importance of addressing the multiple intersecting stigmas that potentiate the risk of HIV acquisition and contributes to adverse outcomes among those living with HIV. Intersecting stigmas can include those related to HIV status, gender identity, sexual orientation, race and ethnicity, sexual practices, occupation, mental health, and addictions. However, there is limited consensus on the methods for measuring intersectionality. Moreover, documenting the mechanisms by intersectional stigmas can limit engagement in HIV services and lead to HIV risk is crucial towards informing the implementation of evidence-based and human rights-affirming responses. And while still limited in 2018, there is a growing body of evidence of programmatic approaches to address intersecting stigmas. Speakers will focus on the newest tools and strategies for measurement and analytic approaches, describe findings from the use of the latest tools to measure intersectional stigma, and ultimately describe approaches to intervene on intersectional stigmas.
