Trial to improve HIV care by reducing stigma in healthcare settings.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

People living with HIV need to stick to their treatment and keep up with their clinic visits for the best health results. **HIV** stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which can damage the immune system if not treated. **Stigma** means negative and unfair beliefs about something, in this case, HIV. This study tests if teaching people how to handle stigma can help them stay on their treatment plan and improve their health. It is being done in South Africa where there is a lot of stigma around HIV. Participants will be split into two groups: one group will get the usual help, and the other will get special help to deal with stigma. Researchers want to see if the special help makes a bigger difference.

  • **Length**: Participation involves clinic visits and phone access.
  • **Age**: Must be 18 or older.
  • **Location**: Only for people in certain parts of South Africa.
