Project Description
Malaysia, a middle-income country that has an expanding HIV epidemic concentrated in people who inject drugs, is steeped in high levels of discrimination and intentions to discriminate by HIV-treating clinicians. This project aims to develop and pilot test a rapid start antiretroviral therapy strategy as a stigma reduction intervention, which if effective, can be tested in future implementation trials.
