according to the Minister, it was just recently that an individual who was desirous of becoming a teacher was scrutinised because that person was suspected to be HIV positive.
“Stigma is alive in our country and there is no reason for any one of us to not concede that. In that respect we share that characteristic with every single country on earth,” he added.
Nonetheless, he boasted that Guyana has done a much better job than many other countries. He added that Guyana does not have many examples of drastic cases of stigma and discrimination as is evident in some countries.
But though the findings of the survey suggest that there exist stigma and discrimination in the school system, it deduced that infected and affected students have the same experience as their comparison.
In fact, Ms Joan Thomas, who presented the findings, reflected that neither perceived nor enacted stigma had an impact on the learning experience of students infected or affected by HIV as their performances were similar to students unaffected by the disease.
The goal of the school survey, which was also undertaken in Saint Lucia, is aimed at strengthening research on HIV and AIDS education in the Caribbean in the quest to formulate comprehensive education sector policies and programmes on HIV and AIDS.
