Exploring factors associated with primary healthcare providers’ attitudes towards HIV services provision in Georgia
This study identified geographic location, discriminatory beliefs, and misperceptions about HIV transmission risk as key factors associated with PHC providers' attitudes towards HIV service provision. Addressing these through evidence-based interventions can foster more inclusive, effective HIV care in Georgia, supporting national targets and global best practices.
