Stigma and discrimination towards PLHIV
The overall score of the 4 items was 48.6% at pre-test and 60.3% at post-test (Table 3 ). Although with no statistical significance, the intervention had an overall increase on stigma knowledge score of only 11.7% (Figure 3 ). The Beqaa sample showed an unremarkable increase in high stigma knowledge to an already very poor baseline of 3.6% high stigma knowledge. On the other hand, the Beirut sample started at almost 60% high stigma knowledge, which rose to 72.2% after the intervention.
