- Abstract
In the US alone, 1.2 million people were diagnosed with HIV in 2013 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). People living with HIV experience stigma-related disadvantages that affect their quality of life. Stigma manifests in multiple forms (e.g. prejudice and discrimination) (Mahajan, 2008). Consequently, stigma contributes to barriers for effective intervention, prevention, treatment, and care for PLHIV (International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), 2015). In this pilot study, the researcher implemented a body mapping workshop for clients of AIDS Athens. Through a mixed methods of observation, interview, and questionnaire for data collection, the result of the process and outcome evaluation of the body mapping workshop showed that: (1) the intervention was implemented as intended; (2) the workshop can be replicated in the Athens setting; (3) the workshop can be improved upon for future delivery (4) the workshop did not meet its intended outcome objectives (an increase of resilience and self-esteem scores of 10% post-intervention); (5) all participants indicated good to high level of satisfaction with the workshop.
