Discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS or serophobia is the prejudice, fear, rejection and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). Discrimination is one manifestation of stigma, and stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors may fall under the rubric of discrimination depending on the legislation of a particular country. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).[1] HIV/AIDS is a sexually transmitted disease and cannot be cured, but with proper treatment, the individual can live just as long as without the disease.

HIV/AIDS discrimination exists around the world, including ostracism, rejection, discrimination, and avoidance. Consequences of stigma and discrimination against PLHIV may result in low turn-out for HIV counselling and testing, identity crises, isolation, loneliness, low self-esteem and lack of interest in containing the disease

Two ways that could be considered in the fight against discrimination of people living with HIV and AIDS are:

1. Spreading awareness regarding the disease and educating people about the nature of the disease.

2. A compulsory class conducted in schools and colleges to educate the students about the disease to prevent discrimination.
