Summary
This study tests a new digital tool called INCLUDE, designed to help clinics in Nepal identify and reduce stigma faced by people living with HIV. The tool includes a stigma assessment, a dashboard linking stigma to care data, and a library of stigma-reduction activities. Researchers will check if the tool is acceptable and feasible for use in four ART centers, involving 88 participants.
