Background: hiv-related stigma is a barrier to effective hiv responses among people living with hiv (plhiv). objectives: the current study aimed at measuring hiv-related stigma, and its associated factors among the general population in the southeast of iran. methods: the current cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of 900 individuals in kerman, southeast of iran, from july to september 2016. data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire, including (i) demographic and background characteristics; (ii) hivrelated stigma; and (iii) hiv-related knowledge. data were analyzed with spss version 20 using descriptive statistics, as well as bivariable and multivariable linear regressions. results: low, moderate, and high levels of stigmatizing attitudes toward plhiv were reported by 39.1%, 57.8%, and 3.1% of the participants, respectively. female sex(beta = 0.33, p value = 0.01) and those not having a history of hiv testing (beta = 0.45, p value < 0.001) had, on average, higher levels of stigmatizing attitudes, while those with a higher level of education (beta = 0.97, p value < 0.001) had, on average, lower levels of stigmatizing attitudes. conclusions: gender-sensitive educational interventions need to be developed to reduce the negative attitude towards plhiv in iran.
