Description

Jason M Lo Hog Tian and colleagues analyse self-rated health in people living with HIV in Bolivia, published in 2026. Data came from a stigma index survey conducted in 2022. A total of 900 participants reported health, stigma, and psychosocial resources. Fewer than half rated their health as good.

Higher education, viral suppression, and stronger HIV resilience each raised the odds of good self-rated health. Extra health conditions lowered those odds. Greater internalised stigma also lowered them. Average age was about thirty-five, and most participants were cisgender men. The authors urge programmes to screen for comorbidities alongside viral control.
