Detaljeret beskrivelse
This study will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a behavioral intervention designed to reduce intersectional HIV- and drug use-related stigma and improve HIV care engagement among women living with HIV who use drugs in Ukraine.
A total of 100 eligible women will be randomized to either the intervention or a control condition.
Participants in both groups will receive standard HIV care and a one-time consultation with a social worker, complete baseline, 3-month, and 6-month assessments, and have HIV care outcomes assessed.
Participants assigned to the intervention will additionally attend five small-group sessions focused on stigma coping, cognitive-behavioral skills, communication, social support, and HIV care engagement, with an optional individual session involving a support person.
The study will examine effects on HIV care engagement, antiretroviral therapy adherence, and stigma-related psychosocial outcomes to inform a future fully powered randomized controlled trial.
