The estimated probability of experiencing positive body image for all four groups
What we have found : Food security, neighbourhood cohesion,  a good standard of living in comparison to their neighbours, high scores on the quality of life scale, employment and smoking affected one’s self-perceived body image in a positive manner, but above all, stigma and depression are the deciding factors for positive body image. Where do we go from here ?: There is a demonstrated need for community-level interventions to inform the public about HIV/AIDS in order to reduce stigma towards those living with HIV/AIDS. Along with addressing clinical health status, physicians should regularly assess patients’ mental health needs and be positioned to refer patients to appropriate services. Conclusions
