Journal Title: Archives of Physiotherapy and Global Researches - Year 2015, Vol 19, Issue 4

The AIDS dynamics shows that the problem of people living with HIV/AIDS is not only medical but also social. The HIV/AIDS-infected continue to suffer from stigmatization and social discrimination. The Berger HIV stigma scale may be a useful research tool to measure the extent of stigmatization of people with HIV/AIDS in Poland.
