Maria’s story was an unusual one in that her in-laws intervened to protect her from further harm.

Social psychologist Diane Quinn notes that the way stigma affects an individual is directly related to the visibility of the stigma and to whether or not it can be concealed.[21] Stigma presents dangers beyond discrimination as people go to great lengths to conceal their status, such as skipping medication or medical appointments.[22] In the African context, this also means that many mothers living with HIV and AIDS will sometimes choose to breastfeed and risk passing the virus through their breast milk, because in communities with HIV and AIDS, those who do not breastfeed are stigmatized as being HIV-positive.[23] It also means that a positive test result will not be disclosed to current or future sexual partners, even if that puts others at risk.
