They were created to assist countries in creating a positive, rights-based response to HIV/AIDS that is effective in reducing the transmission and impact of HIV/AIDS and consistent with human rights and fundamental freedoms. “Fighting HIV-Related Intolerance – Exposing the Links Between Racism, Stigma and Discrimination” - World Health Organisation 2001 This report is a summary of the panel discussion on stigma, racism and discrimination related to HIV and AIDS at the World Conference against Racism in Durban.

The research outlined in this report describes the results of two studies carried to examine HIV testing amongst gay men in Scotland.

The second is a quantitative study built upon the qualitative findings, and provides data from a larger, more representative sample of gay men recruited through commercial gay venues in Glasgow and Edinburgh. These studies provide a valuable insight into men’s experiences and understanding of HIV testing in Scotland, and the complexity of their responses to managing HIV.
