The specific aims of this project are: To document base rates of HIV related stigma among service providers and health administrators and its impact on health service behaviors and care for PLH; To identify socio-cultural, structural, and personal factors that are associated with HIV-related stigma towards PLH among service providers and health administrators; and To design, pilot test, and evaluate an intervention for service providers to address HIV-related stigma and its impact on health service delivery and adequate care.
