This thesis highlights the complexity of the inter-relationships between the disease stigma of HIV/AIDS and common modes of HIV transmission, such as injecting drug use, among health professionals in Asia. New ways of deconstructing disease-related stigma were explored. The findings pose challenges for the conventional approaches to HIV/AIDS stigma intervention
