Abstract
HIV- related stigma has been identified as a key obstacle to diagnosis of HIV,
linkage to care, retention in care, adherence to ART and achieving viral suppression, the UNAIDS
90-90-90 goals as well as ending the pandemic by 2030. Since stigma levels are high in most at
risk populations, this study therefore aimed to assess the factors associated with HIV- related
stigma among adults from fishing communities around lake George in Kasese district.
