In Episode 49, we discuss a paper (Ocampo et al., 2023) on the impacts of HIV stigma on workers. People who perceived higher levels of HIV stigma from their peers reported higher fear and shame, and this shame translated into worse job performance. But people with healthier immune systems and higher core self-evaluations were less likely to have shame translate to worsened job performance.We release this episode today, March 20, 2023, in honor of National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.
