Abstract
The phenomenon of stigmatization as well as its mechanisms are being discussed in this article. The author has discovered how the stigmatization of HIV-positive people affects both the economic and social spheres in the society. A sociological study was conducted by the method of in-depth interviews from March to May 2022. With the usage of qualitative analysis, the following stigmatizing attitudes amongst students and professors of Russian universities have been detected based on the typology of Yu. S. Smirnova. The analysis regarding the estimate of the acceptable social distance between the respondents and HIV-positive persons is also provided in this paper. A causal relationship between the stigmatization of HIV persons by the respondents and how knowledgeable they were on the topic of HIV is found.
