Summary

This study tests a training program for entire HIV clinics to reduce stigma and improve well-being for both patients and staff. About 1,000 people from 5 clinics in the US South will take part. The training includes interactive sessions for all staff and aims to change clinic policies and attitudes. Researchers will track changes in stigma and cultural humility over 24 months.
