Summary

This study looks at how harm reduction care (a non-judgmental approach to drug use) in HIV clinics affects stigma and health outcomes for people living with HIV who use drugs. Researchers will survey 768 patients and providers to understand how attitudes and care practices influence viral suppression and clinic attendance. The goal is to design better care that reduces health gaps.
