Single factor analysis showed that there was a difference among people living with HIV/AIDS who had different education status, health insurance and whether to tell others HIV positive (Z=21.534, t=2.607, 3.958, P<0.01). There was a difference between the level of social support and perceived discrimination among people living with HIV/AIDS (r=0.245-0.275, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the level of social support, perceived discrimination and whether to tell others HIV positive could affect the total score of PTGI.
