AB The recent increase in HIV seroprevalence in Poland, particularly among
injecting drug users, has been accompanied by widespread discrimination
against people affected by HIV and AIDS. As in other countries, this
discrimination may be attributed to a large extent to fear and ignorance
about HIV and AIDS together with pre-existing prejudices against the
people who are most commonly associated with the epidemic. In Poland
extreme hostility towards drug users combined with the powerful
influence of a traditional Catholic church have so far impeded effective
education about HIV and AIDS and anti-discrimination strategies.
