Summary

Key populations at risk of HIV (including men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender women, and female sex workers) are more likely to be infected with HIV but less likely than members of the general population to know of their HIV status, receive HIV prevention counseling, or be linked to HIV care services. Clinician stigma towards these groups remains a potent and persistent driver of these HIV disparities in many places of the world. The investigators propose to incorporate evidence-based stigma reduction tools into a popular teletraining platform for clinicians and pilot test the resulting intervention (Project ECHO® for HIV Prevention and Stigma Reduction) with clinicians in Malaysia, a context wherein clinician stigma and HIV disparities are substantial.
