Introduction: Stigma and discrimination are recognised as the most commonly identified barriers to fight the TB epidemic. Reducing TB stigma is essential because it hinders care seeking, contact tracing, outbreak investigations, treatment initiation, adherence and quality of care. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the stigma associated with tuberculosis and find out the association of TB stigma with selected demographical variables. Methodology: Descriptive design was used in the study and data collection was done in the urban and in the rural areas of Bangalore. The total sample size was 250 based on the review of literature. Convenient sampling was done to select the subjects. Data collection was done after getting the informed consent. Modified Tuberculosis-Related stigma scale was used. Data analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: Majority of the subjects 201 (80.4%) had moderate stigma, 31 (12.4%) had poor stigma and 18 (7.2%) had high stigma related to tuberculosis. In this more subjects had high stigma (58.4%) for the item “I am afraid of people who have TB” and lowest stigma for the item (8.8%) “People get TB because of multiple sex partners.” The study findings also shows statistically significant association regarding tuberculosis stigma with gender (1.44), residence (3.41), family member having Tuberculosis (3.647) and friends or neighbours having Tuberculosis (2.41 ) at 0.05 level of significance. Discussion: In the present study, majority of population had moderate stigma (201) 80.4% similar to a study where 21 (34.43%) of the 61 DOTS patients were found to be stigmatised and 40 (65.57%) were not stigmatised. 10 (47.62%) females and 11 (27.5%) males were found to be stigmatised. 43 (70.49%) patients preferred to keep other people from knowing that they were suffering from tuberculosis. 27 (44.26%) patients decided to stay away from work/social groups and 26 (42.62%) felt that others gave them less respect. Conclusion: TB stigma is high and will likely affect care seeking behaviour; TB awareness campaigns should be a priority and emphasise the treatability and curability of TB.
