A scoping review of approaches to reduce stigma and discrimination against people with HIV in health-care settings in the United States: Few recent interventions identified

This scoping review identified contemporary stigma-reduction studies across US health-care settings. Despite the significance of this problem, only 3 intervention studies were identified in the past 5Aÿyears. These studies highlight the value of intervening during formative training experiences and the importance of including interprofessional health-care providers in interventions. The findings relate to the novel approaches (eg, virtual patient simulations) that are used in interventions. The importance of using a participatory approach to intervention design is noted. Critical gaps in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) stigma measurement and the lack of interventions are identified, laying a foundation for future programs and research.
