The purpose of this metasynthesis is to identify salient stigmatized intersections and their impact on health outcomes in PLWH in sub-Saharan Africa. Using Sandelowski and Barroso\u2019s metasynthesis method, we searched four databases for peer-reviewed qualitative literature. Included studies (1) explored personal experiences with intersecting stigmas, (2) included \u22651 element of infectious disease stigma, and (3) were conducted in sub-Saharan Africa. Our multinational team extracted, aggregated, interpreted, and synthesized the findings. From 454 screened abstracts, the 34 studies included in this metasynthesis reported perspectives of at least 1258 participants (282 men, 557 women, and 109 unspecified gender) and key informants. From these studies, gender and HIV was the most salient stigmatized intersection, with HIV testing avoidance and HIV-status denial seemingly more common among men to preserve traditional masculine identity. HIV did not threaten female identity in the same way with women more willing to test for HIV, but at the risk of abandonment and withdrawal of financial support. To guard against status loss, men and women used performative behaviors to highlight positive qualities or minimize perceived negative attributes. These identity management practices ultimately shaped health behaviors and outcomes. From this metasynthesis, the Stigma Identity Framework was devised for framing identity and stigma management, focusing on role expectation and fulfillment. This framework illustrates how PLWH create, minimize, or emphasize other identity traits to safeguard against status loss and discrimination. Providers must acknowledge how stigmatization disrupts PLWH\u2019s ability to fit into social schemas and tailor care to individuals\u2019 unique intersecting identities. Economic security and safety should be considered in women\u2019s HIV care, while highlighting antiretrovirals\u2019 role in preserving strength and virility may improve care engagement among men.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pgph.0000706","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]],"date-time":"2023-02-01T18:47:45Z","timestamp":1675277265000},"page":"e0000706","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pgph.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Identity management in the face of HIV and intersecting stigmas: A metasynthesis of qualitative reports from sub-Saharan Africa"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Alanna J.","family":"Bergman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0987-7952","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Katherine C.","family":"McNabb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khaya","family":"Mlandu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6689-1104","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alvine","family":"Akumbom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dalmacio Dennis","family":"Flores","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"pgph.0000706.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1186\/s12916-019-1271-3","article-title":"The Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework: A global, crosscutting framework to inform research, intervention development, and policy on health-related stigmas","volume":"17","author":"AL Stangl","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMC Med"},{"key":"pgph.0000706.ref002","volume-title":"Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity","author":"E.
