  abstract = {{T}his paper assesses the relationship between gender and {HIV}-related stigma experiences among people living with {HIV} ({PLHIV}) - enacted and anticipated stigma - and {PLHIV} caregivers - courtesy stigma - in {N}orthern {T}hailand, along with the underlying reasons for stigmatising attitudes towards {PLHIV} - instrumental and symbolic stigma - expressed in the general population. {W}e used data from the {L}iving {W}ith {A}ntiretrovirals ({LIWA}) study conducted on all {PLHIV} receiving antiretroviral treatment in four district hospitals in {N}orthern {T}hailand (n=513) and on a community sample of adults from the general population (n=500). {W}omen living with {HIV} and female caregivers of {PLHIV} reported higher rates of {HIV}-related stigma experiences than men. {G}ender interacted with other predictors - the period of {HIV} diagnosis and age - to increase the level of stigma experienced. {A}mong the general population, attitudes of contact avoidance were infrequent. {H}owever, stereotypes depicting {PLHIV} as blameworthy were highly pervasive, with women perceived as the victims of their spouse's irresponsible sexual behaviours. {I}n this context, women were yet more often subjected to {HIV}-related stigma than men, in particular women diagnosed in the pre-antiretroviral therapy era and younger female caregivers. {T}he role of gender in shaping disparities in {HIV}-related stigma experiences is discussed.},
