Stigma has undermined the scale‐up of evidence‐based HIV prevention and treatment. Negative beliefs influence clinicians’ discriminatory behaviour and ultimately have wide‐ranging effects across the HIV prevention and treatment continuum. Stigma among clinicians can be mitigated in several ways, including through interpersonal contact.
