in the united states, assessing the measurement of and correlates of personal stigma (among care recipients living with HIV), courtesy stigma (among caregivers ad dyadic stigma). Survey data from 135 dyads in which the caregiver is a midlife or older mother or wife, and the care recipient is her HIV infected adult son or husband, are analyzed with individual level and multilevel regression models. Results indicate that : 1. perceived stigma can be reliably measured among both persons living with HIV (PLH) and caregivers 2. personal stigma can be distinguished from courtesy stigma 3. perceived stigma is relatively low in this sample and is higher among PLH than caregivers, higher among caregiving wives than mothers, and similar betwween PLH who are husbands and sons 4. dyadic stigma is inflyenced by the caregiver's HIV status, the ethnic composition of the dyad, caregiving duration and household income 5. stigma discrepancy within dyads is a function of health discrepancy within dyadsm and 6. differences in multivariate correlates of perceived stigma at the individual level, in comparison to the dyad level, suggest that dyadic stigma is a unique construct. A recognition that perceuived stigma bears its own uniqe influence of the caregiving dyad is important for understanding how best to allocate resources aimed at alleviating stigma among individuals and families impacted by HIV.
