AB - BACKGROUND: Infectious disease-related stigma is a pervasive global issue that impedes disease control efforts by increasing reluctance to seek treatment or engagement in prevention behaviors for fear of ostracism. Despite this, there is limited research on COVID-19 stigma in Africa, specifically rural South Africa, which has faced infectious disease-related stigma throughout the HIV epidemic.
