    Abstract:
    The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a chronic disease, although antiretroviral theropy helps in a way that it prevents the virus which is in the blood replicating and, along with the use of condoms (female or male), which are associated with a significant decrease in the risk of transmission of the disease (Davari et al. 2020; Finkelstein et al. 2015; Porto et al. 2008; Siegfried et al. 2011 i Hogg et al. 2011). On the other hand, HIV /Aids is considered to be related to stigmatizing conducts from society (Herek i Glunt, 1988). The main objective of this study is to analyze the status of knowledge of the general public has about the disease HIV/aids and to observe the stigmatized beliefs towards this using a survey towards the general population with N=150. The resulting conclusions obtained reflect a general disinformation on the general aspects of the disease and confirm that the innacuracy and lack of knowledge about the disease gives way to false, erroneous beliefs and stigmatizing thoughts.
