I have only encountered HIV stigma in a Dr.'s office a month or so after my diagnosis. I changed OB GYN's and never saw that woman Dr again. If I knew her name I'd write a review. I think people face more self stigma than from others, education should help kill stigma.

Where I live in the northeast stigma is not a big concern people are more tolerant towards this disease
