Abstract: = 7.75). Results indicated significant and medium-sized indirect effects of HIV stigma and its subfacets (enacted stigma and negative self-image) in terms of hazardous alcohol use via emotion dysregulation. Alternative models did not yield significant indirect effects. The results document an indirect association between HIV stigma and hazardous alcohol use via emotion dysregulation. These findings may provide novel, initial empirical insight into the nature of the stigma-hazardous drinking relation among PLHIV.
