Dominican Republic - 2008
Research was undertaken by a partnership between Profamilia, the Institute of Population and Development Studies (IEPD), and two national networks of people living with HIV-ASOLSIDA and REDOVIH between December 2007 and 2008.
A total of 1000 people were interviewed in four different geographical areas, covering a mix of urban and more rural settings. A total of 510 women, 486 men and 4 transgender participated in the study. To ensure that the Index was most relevant to the pressing issues in the Dominican Republic, The People Living with HIV Stigma Index questionnaire also included supplementary questions which included a special focus on women, gender violence and young girls.
