Reducing Stigma in People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) With HIV Using a Rapid Start Antiretroviral Therapy Intervention (ART)

This study is testing whether starting HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART) very quickly — on the same day or within a few days of diagnosis — helps reduce the stigma experienced by people who inject drugs (PWID) and improves their likelihood of staying on treatment. It is being conducted in HIV clinics and prison settings. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a person who injects drugs (including opioids, amphetamines, or other substances) who is newly enrolled in HIV treatment at a participating clinic - You are an HIV clinician who prescribes ART at a study clinic and are willing to use the rapid-start protocol - You may be from either the general population or a prison population **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are a minor (under 18) and are an HIV clinician participant - You are unwilling to provide informed consent - You do not inject drugs (for the patient participant role) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
