Dr. Mason's seminar will describe "courtesy" stigma, or stigma by association,
specifically as experienced by adolescents whose mothers have HIV, to review
current knowledge about mental health, substance abuse, and sexual risks for HIV-affected
African-American urban adolescents. She will also discuss the relationship between stigma and
adolescent risk and opportunities for intervention.
