First seen May 01, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how harm reduction care—a non-judgmental approach that focuses on safety and health—affects stigma and health outcomes for people with HIV who use drugs. Researchers will survey 768 patients and providers at three HIV clinics to understand how provider attitudes and harm reduction practices impact viral suppression and care retention. The goal is to design a better way to reduce health gaps for this group.
