DESCRIPTION:Ever since first diagnosed HIV has been represented as a disea
 se of "others" - those seen by many in society as degenerate\, immoral and
  to be blamed for HIV. Much has changed in the fight against the HIV epide
 mic\, with significant medical advances resulting in HIV being considered 
 a chronic\, manageable condition. Yet\, the stigma continues. Using Goffma
 n's (1963) notion of a "spoiled identity"\, the impact that HIV has on a s
 ense of identity is explored using data from qualitative studies conducted
  in South Africa and in the UK. The individual narratives reveal significa
 nt struggles with feelings of socially-mediated shame\, which impact on th
 e individual's relationships to self and others.
