Uganda understand, experience, and address stigma among their
clients, and to identify the psychosocial, relational, and practical
mechanisms through which their support facilitates coping,
engagement in care, and recovery.

iii)
Examine the baseline association between HIV-related stigma
and suicidality—operationalised as suicidal ideation and history
of previous suicide attempt—among depressed people living with
HIV.
Determine whether Group Support Psychotherapy reduces
suicidal ideation over time, particularly at 2 months (during
therapy) and 6 months (post-therapy), compared with the control
condition.
