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.
