A search of seven databases produced 709 articles, with 21 manually sought manually. Eight studies were included, five of which were from Kenya. Five were qualitative, and only one quantitative study included follow-up data. Three explicitly targeted stigma, and one intersectional stigma. Various features (e.g., education) were targeted, mostly at individual or interpersonal levels. Few operated at higher levels and age reporting was inconsistent. There is an evident lack of stigma-reduction interventions for OPLWH in SSA. Future efforts should consider age-related dynamics and intersecting stigmas. Social support (formal and informal) showed particular promise, alongside economic and nutrition-based strategies.

We conducted formative community-engaged research to identify key characteristics of a social media campaign to address HIV-related stigma among youth in Lima, Peru. Focus groups and in-depth interviews with young people living with HIV (men who have sex with men, transgender women, sex workers, persons with perinatally-acquired HIV, cisgender women, and Venezuelan migrants), HIV advocates, and healthcare providers were conducted from November 2022 to July 2023. Audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed for emergent themes using framework analysis. Two change targets were identified for campaign messaging: (1) changing how HIV and people living with HIV (PLWH) are perceived and (2) changing attitudes and actions towards PLWH. Messages aligning with the first change target included education to raise awareness that HIV does not discriminate; HIV is a chronic, treatable condition; and \"undetectable equals untransmittable\" (U = U). Messages aligning with the second target included normalizing open conversations about HIV, encouraging support versus pity for PLWH, fostering unity among HIV-affected communities, and promoting inclusion of PLWH.
