Summary

Researchers are testing whether an online HIV stigma training can reduce stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors in nursing students. Third- and fourth-year nursing students will either take this training or a standard HIV epidemiology course. Before and after, the students will complete surveys and interact with simulated HIV patients in recorded visits to measure changes in stigma and empathy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Online HIV-related stigma training
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could be adopted in nursing schools to reduce stigma and improve care for people living with HIV.
What could go wrong
The trial is small and early, and it measures behavior in simulated visits, which may not fully reflect real-world interactions.
