Can training and policy changes curb stigma in HIV clinics?
NCT ID NCT05925374
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study worked with 51 healthcare professionals at primary care clinics to find ways to reduce stigma toward people who use drugs, especially in HIV prevention and care. The researchers tested a program that combined education for staff and changes to clinic policies. The goal was to see if these steps could make healthcare workers more willing to help and less judgmental toward patients who use drugs.
