The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of implementing clinic system changes and physical structures in Uganda to improve aesthetics, welcome, and privacy to reduce HIV stigma, improve retention-in-care, and improve the patient experience. To evaluate pilot/implementation outcomes, the outcomes of fidelity, feasibility, and acceptability will be assessed prior to intervention. After the changes are done to two HIV interventions clinics, the outcome surveys will assess if the changes were disruptive or impeded the workings of the clinics.
