Abstract
This study is aimed to examine the direct influence of religiosity and knowledge of HIV/AIDS on the stigma faced by PLWHA. It also examines the indirect effect of religiosity on stigma towards PLWHA through knowledge of HIV/AIDS. The study subjects were 179 Muslim prisoners, selected using the cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected using a PLWHA stigma scale; a religious scale; a religious knowledge test; and an HIV/AIDS knowledge test. Mediation analysis was performed using the SPSS PROCESS macro, model four. The results show that the direct influence of religion on stigma towards PLWHA was not significant (β=-0.465, p>0.05); that there was a direct influence of knowledge about HIV/AIDS on stigma encountered by PLWHA (β=-0.80, p<0.05); and that religiosity in the stigma faced by PLWHA was indirectly influenced by knowledge of HIV/AIDS (β=-0.695). This shows the full role of knowledge mediation.
