Stigma and discrimination occurs in part due to myths that surrounded the modes of contracting HIV and the lack of law in place to respect, protect and fulfill the rights of the people with HIV/AIDS resulting in high incidence of new HIV infections especially among the economically productive persons between the ages 15 to 45 years old. Hence, these negative attitudes often delay and create fears in people to go for counseling and testing to know their HIV status which will inform better lifestyles and behaviors that are consistent with individuals HIV status; and hinders persons who are positive from utilization of available preventive programmes to protect them from re-infection. The study utilized both primary and secondary data and adopted factor analysis and descriptive statistics for the analysis. The findings revealed that about 47% of new HIV infections occurred due to stigma and discrimination while about 100 out of a thousand of people with HIV/AIDS loss their jobs for the same reason. The study hereby recommended that the federal government should pass into law the anti-stigma bill in order to respect, protect and fulfill the rights of the people living positive and criminalize any culprit and also implement the 15% Abuja Declaration for more funds for HIV/AIDS intervention and to achieve zero new HIV infection.
