Project Description
HIV and drug use stigma are a barrier to HIV prevention, care and treatment services access. Although family can be critical in supporting people who use drugs (PWUD) to enter into and remain in HIV and drug prevention and treatment, there are no interventions for stigma that PWUD with HIV face from their family members.
This study will address this gap by adapting existing evidence-based stigma reduction interventions to create one for PWUD with HIV who face stigma from family members.
