Integrating Intersectional and Syndemic Frameworks for Ending the US HIV Epidemic. American Journal of Public Health, 112(S4), S340-343. PMCID: PMC9241475Abstract
In the US HIV epidemic, intersectional stigma research illustrates how multiple interlocking systems of oppression (e.g., classism, racism, misogyny, drug use stigma) amplify HIV vulnerability and related health inequities. Michele Tracey Berger first coined the term intersectional HIV stigma, grounding the core of this intersectional approach in Black feminist theory to articulate individual and collective experiences of status-based oppression and to advance liberation. To date, intersectional HIV-related stigma research has focused largely on understanding how stigma is experienced among populations with multiple interlocking stigmatized statuses in relation to a single health condition, the past decade of HIV research has leveraged the theory of syndemics to understand how the co-occurrence of multiple health conditions (and their interactions) amplifies HIV vulnerability and related health inequities.URL
