ABSTRACT
The impact of HIV-related stigma on social workers, clinicians, counselors, and advocates working in organizations serving people living with HIV (PLWH), is rarely considered. Professionals experience "courtesy stigma" when working with or on behalf of PLWH, regardless of their personal HIV status. PubMed, Medline, and PsycInfo databases, along with a review of relevant reference lists and referrals, identified 13 studies addressing this phenomenon. Although limited, this brief review suggests that members of the HIV workforce do indeed face challenges that compromise their personal and professional well-being as a result of courtesy stigma. Addressing stigma among professionals is necessary to support the health of those working in the field, and to avoid undermining the efforts of this important workforce. More research is needed to understand the perceptions and experiences of courtesy stigma and how this stigma may adversely impact the psychological well-being, social functioning, and professional practice of HIV professionals.
