Abstract: Developing the measurement of HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination is the prerequisite of evaluating and reducing the stigma and discrimination. Based on elaborating the concept and category of HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination, the authors focused on analyzing and comparing the widely used measurements of HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination, and pointed out that most of these scales were invented by developed countries, and no scale was adaptive for Chinese culture context; and no scale measured the dual stigma and discrimination among HIV-high risk populations either. It is urgent to develop an instrument which is adaptive for Chinese culture context

Key words: AIDS, stigma, discrimination, measurement
