One of the reasons most HIV/AIDS patients act reluctant to disclose their status is because of
The incurable nature of the ailment
Fear of social stigmatization
Lack of sufficient public awareness
Shortage of health counselors
Correct answer is B
Social stigma is the disapproval of, or discrimination against, a person based on perceivable social characteristics that serve to distinguish them from other members of a society. people living with HIV/AIDS are most times stigmatized and this makes it difficult for them to relate freely with people in a social setting.
