| description | Stigmatization has accompanied the HIV pandemic since its origins, having negative consequences on the health of people with HIV and discouraging regular testing in the general population. Any design, monitoring, and readjustment of policies aimed at reducing stigmatization towards HIV require having rigorous instruments for its measurement. The objective of this study was to build and validate a Brief Scale on HIV Stigmatization (BESEHIV) in a representative sample of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), taking into account its linguistic particularities. Four hundred (n = 400) participants between 18 and 60 years old were surveyed on public roads in a quota design to achieve representativeness of gender, age, level of education, and socioeconomic level. The BESE-HIV was made up of nine items and showed very good levels of reliability and evidence of adequate internal and external validity, which indicates it is a promising instrument. |

Any design, monitoring, and readjustment of policies aimed at reducing stigmatization towards HIV require having rigorous instruments for its measurement. The objective of this study was to build and validate a Brief Scale on HIV Stigmatization (BESEHIV) in a representative sample of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA), taking into account its linguistic particularities. Four hundred (n = 400) participants between 18 and 60 years old were surveyed on public roads in a quota design to achieve representativeness of gender, age, level of education, and socioeconomic level.

La estigmatización ha acompañado la pandemia del VIH desde sus orígenes, lo cual ha tenido consecuencias negativas en la salud de las personas con VIH y ha desalentado el testeo regular en la población general. Cualquier diseño, monitoreo y readecuación de políticas dirigidas a reducir la estigmatización hacia el VIH requiere contar con instrumentos rigurosos para su medición. El objetivo del trabajo fue construir y validar una Breve Escala sobre Estigmatización hacia el VIH (BESE-VIH) en una muestra representativa de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA), respetando sus particularidades lingüísticas. Se encuestó en la vía pública a 400 participantes de entre 18 y 60 años en un diseño muestral por cuotas y se logró la representatividad de género, edad, nivel educativo y nivel socioeconómico. La BESE-VIH quedó compuesta por nueve reactivos y mostró muy buenos niveles de confiabilidad y evidencias de validez interna y externa adecuadas, por lo que la escala resulta un instrumento prometedor.
