Description

Dorothy Thomas and co-authors ask what helps or blocks violence screening in Uganda's HIV clinics in a 2023 study. People with HIV face more gender-based violence, which can sink their care. Thirty providers from twelve clinics sat for deep talks.

Clear rule books, state training, site classes, and peer backing helped staff screen and refer. Yet referrals stayed rare. Staff doubted the worth of the places referred to, funds ran short for clients and sites, and social norms made clients shy away. The team says plans should build on the helps and break the blocks.
