Stigma among healthcare workers in <scp>HIV</scp> antiretroviral services: A cross‐sectional study in Indonesia
Stigma towards people living with HIV in antiretroviral treatment services remains prevalent and negatively impacts care quality, treatment adherence, and HIV prevention efforts. Routine stigma-reduction interventions targeting healthcare workers are essential to enhance care for people living with HIV. For healthcare practice, this underscores the need for structured, ongoing professional development programmes focused on empathy-building, HIV education, and communication skills. Implementing policies that promote inclusive, non-discriminatory care environments, along with institutional support systems, can significantly improve healthcare workers' attitudes and ultimately the quality of care delivered to people living with HIV.
