AIDS orphans were more likely to be bullied by friends or relatives due to the stigma against HIV/AIDS in India. People may falsely believe HIV can be contracted by proximity, so these orphans can lose friends. Often, women widowed by HIV/AIDS face blame for the impact on their children, while families face isolation during the time of illness and after. Parents often lose their jobs due to workplace discrimination. The Human Rights Watch has found many cases of sexual abuse among female AIDS orphans, which often result in trafficking and prostitution. Studies have shown that an increase in quality HIV treatment and care can drastically decrease this discrimination.
