Summary

This study tests a program designed to reduce HIV-related stigma among doctors, nurses, and lab technicians in Chinese hospitals. The program includes group sessions that teach providers how to interact more supportively with people living with HIV. Researchers will measure changes in stigma and patient satisfaction to see if the approach works.
