Worldwide there is evidence that women living with HIV experience more stigma and rights violations in health care settings than HIV-negative women. This puts women living with HIV at risk of dropping out of sexual and reproductive health (SRH)/HIV care services. Amongst severe violations are cases of coerced and forced sterilization. In Uganda, the PLHIV Stigma Index Survey Report indicates that 11% of the women were coerced into getting sterilized by health care professionals. Nevertheless, comprehensive information about these violations is still very scanty.
