New programs tackle HIV stigma in ugandan teens
NCT ID NCT04528732
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two programs to reduce the shame and stigma that adolescents with HIV often face. 89 teens aged 10-14 in Uganda took part in either group therapy, family sessions, or standard care. The goal was to see if these programs could help them feel better about themselves and improve their mental health.
