This project will test ways to reduce stigma in healthcare settings so that more providers offer, and more patients receive, important anal sex-related HIV services, including anorectal sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, preventive medications, and cancer screening. By evaluating these stigma-reduction strategies in eight clinics in the Mississippi Delta, a region with high rates of HIV and STIs, the research team will learn whether and how these approaches work to improve access to care. The results will help guide healthcare systems in using the most effective methods to reduce stigma, making it easier for people to get prevention services and improving public health.
