Intervention to Improve HIV Care Retention by Addressing Stigma Stigmatized Environments

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

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study is testing ways to help people with HIV stay in care and take their medicine regularly, especially in areas where HIV is often looked down upon. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, which weakens the immune system. HIV-related stigma means people may face unfair treatment or judgment because they have HIV. This research wants to see if teaching people how to handle this stigma can help them take their medicine better and stay in care longer.

The trial will compare two groups: one receiving standard treatment advice and another receiving extra help with handling stigma. The study takes place in South Africa, focusing on communities with fewer resources. Only adults (18 or older) who visit clinics for HIV treatment, have had recent unsuppressed HIV test results, and have phone access can participate.

  • Study lasts for a specific period (details not provided here).
  • Participants will visit clinics regularly for treatment and study activities.
  • No compensation mentioned for taking part.
