Saadaksemme arvokasta tietoa hiv-tartunnan saaneiden kokemuksista ja edistääksemme positiivisten hyvinvointia, Positiiviset ry toteuttaa ensimmäistä kertaa Suomessa standardoidun tutkimuksen, joka kantaa nimeä Hiv Stigma Index 2.0. Tutkimustulosten avulla toivotaan olevan mahdollista vähentää hiv-tartuntaan liittyvää stigmaa. Tutkimus on toteutettu jo yli sadassa maassa ja käännetty yli 55 kielelle. Tutkimuksen avulla pyritään saamaan yhtenäinen kuva positiivisten kokemuksista. Tutkimuksen päätarkoitus on laajentaa ymmärrystä hiv-positiivisten kokemasta syrjinnästä Suomessa ja eri maissa.
