Flavia Atwiine is presenting at the ongoing #20thARDC, disseminating a section of her study titled “Long-term trends in HIV-related stigma among older age people with and without HIV: Cohort study from Southwestern Uganda.”
Her longitudinal cohort study examines how HIV-related stigma has changed over an extended period among older individuals in Southwestern Uganda, comparing trends between those who are living with HIV and those who are not, which is essential for guiding public health and support strategies.
