Abstract :
Social Stigma is the most important factor explaining HIV/AIDS. There has been a significant increasing in anxiety among parent of victimised children in many parts of India. This paper examines the level of anxiety of HIV/AIDS infected and affected children and using census method, applied simple random sampling. We find that the affected respondents were getting high level of stigma more than infected respondents’ but at the same time the infected respondents were getting uncontrollable anxiety more than affected respondents. High levels of stigma (inner restlessness, inability to relax and apprehension) and fear and preoccupied perceptions of AIDS contribute anxiety of parent of infected children.
