An excellent question. I suppose, much like the muggle stigma against leprosy, or in a more recent HIV's, a similarly transferred disease the fear is there 8ecause people don't understand it. They have firm ideas on how it's spread and what the results are and they refuse to look past those to see the people afflicted with them. Even when treatments 8ecome availa8le there is still the idea that these people are some how wrong, cursed, or just dirty, and so people shun them and education never occurs. And I suppose cases of new8orns not understanding their condition, or sometimes not even knowing what it is they are afflicted with and lashing out with it as there is no one there to help them hasn't helped. Then again the wizarding world is filled with age old prejudices, especially against those who aren't simply wizards and witches, though hopefully with He Who Should Not 8e Named's defeat these ideas will 8egin to die out as they are due to.
8ut frankly, a werewolf or a vampire who is aware of their condition and takes measures to treat it is no more harmful than the average human, 8e they muggle or wizard. I'd 8e more concerned a8out dark arts practitioner .
