Author: 
Syed Abdul Hafiz Moinuddin and Joydeb Patra
Abstract: 

In this article we want to make an inference between HIV/AIDS related stigma and its Ideological construction of “others”, exploring how a group of people those who are living with HIV/AIDS, confronted with perceived and existing thoughts about HIV and its socio-cultural understanding and legitimization through the hegemonic social order and ideology. We examine the social contextual and interactive rather iterative nature of stigma and uses as strong ideological tools that determines its cultural impact and Socio-Linguistic consequences and reaction on image of those who are being a stigmatized. We analyze Meta pragmatic discourse about HIV, Which suggest a language –Ideological component of stigma. We outline some areas of HIV related stigma research where different findings seems to be provoked some questions which remained unsolved or inspire to the further investigation. In this way, we provide a critical Discourse Analysis framework, outlining the way, in which the articles contribute to the resolution of the current intellectual debate in the existing literature and social research on HIV /AIDS related stigma. This article also provides a model of understanding about Ideological Construction of ‘Others’ that suggests furthering re-inquire and re-investigation of others types of marginality, oppression and abjection.
