NCT ID NCT05642676

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study planned to test whether changing the layout and systems of HIV clinics in Uganda could make them feel more private and welcoming, reducing stigma and improving patient retention. Researchers intended to survey patients and staff before and after renovations. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available.
