Abstract

Highlights: Intersectional stigma research examining pathways to HIV outcomes is limited. Adapted conceptual frameworks to examine intersectional stigma and health outcomes. Stigma interacted with social/institutional support to increase depression. Depression led to maladaptive coping, lowering adherence and CD4 count. Argues for multi-level strategies, including women-centred HIV care.
