In ordinary consciousness HIV infected are associated with drug addicts, prostitutes and homosexuals. As representatives of these groups, habitually are open to criticism and charges of immoral conduct. Discrimination is reflected in the abuse and charges, denial of employment and educational institutions, and sometimes assistance. As a result, many HIV positive people are losing friends, work, home, and this is not because the danger to others, but because of their disease is considered to be “indecent" or "deserved."
