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.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a proven way to reduce HIV stigma in clinics, helping more people stay in care and improving well-being for both patients and healthcare workers.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study with no drug or medical treatment, so results may be subtle or hard to measure. The training may not change deeply held attitudes, and findings from 5 clinics may not apply everywhere.
