Despite the fact that responses to epidemics of human immune-deficiency virus (HIV) have gradually improved; it remains one of the world's public health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Evidence is still limited in this area and this study aimed to assess the magnitude of perceived stigma and associated factors among people living with HIV (PLWH) in public health facilities of Dessie city, Ethiopia.
