Applying the Health Stigma and Discrimination Framework to Assess HIV Stigma among Health Care Professionals: A Mixed Methods, Community-Based Participatory Research Study.

Guided by the Health Stigma Discrimination Framework, we conducted an online survey and focus group interviews with 88 and 18 participants.
