Observational analysis revealed lower perceived HIV-related stigma in Infectious Diseases Unit compared to other departments, indicating a need for anti-stigma training.
HIV-related stigma remains highly prevalent in hospital settings, particularly outside specialized care.

Further research should incorporate measures of mental health (e.g., anxiety and depression), as perceived stigma may impact the psychological well-being of people with HIV.
