Join our assessment!

The Austin Fast-Track Cities’ Social Determinants of Health & Equity workgroup is piloting phase 1 of the People Living with HIV (PLHIV) Stigma Index to gather important information from community members living with HIV. The Stigma Index is an in-person, interview-based questionnaire that PLHIV will use to interview other PLHIV about their experiences living with HIV. Our aim is to use our findings to reduce HIV stigma, increase access to health care and community resources, and improve the patient-provider health care experience for people living with HIV. All participants will be compensated for their time

If you are interested in serving as an interviewer, please fill out the form below before July 1st, 2025. Information you share will remain confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside of the study team. Community support is vital in our efforts to end the HIV epidemic.
