This award supports research to improve understanding and measurement of social, behavioral, and economic stigmas affecting people living with HIV, using data from the PLHIV Stigma Index to inform HIV response strategies.
Description
The project aims to better characterize the effects of social, behavioral, and economic stigmas on health, improve the measurement of these stigmas, and develop strategies to use stigma data in the HIV response. It leverages the PLHIV Stigma Index platform to collect and validate stigma data, describe health outcomes, and evaluate determinants of stigma data use to inform HIV response strategies.
