In this episode, Marc Thompson and Tristan J. Barber, MA, MD, FRCP, discuss some of the barriers to genuinely patient-centered HIV care in the United Kingdom and offer calls to action for healthcare professionals for responding to patient preferences. They discuss barriers to HIV testing and effectively communicating the benefits of testing to disparate communities. They also talk through the difficulties in maintaining patient engagement in HIV care and the value of using peer support workers in HIV clinics. You will then hear Marc and Dr Barber talk through treatment and prevention practices. They focus on the importance of messaging around U=U: that treatment can make a patient’s HIV undetectable, and therefore their HIV is untransmissible. They end with a discussion about changing treatment paradigms and how to keep patients informed and empowered—not overwhelmed—by those changes to help ensure lasting health outcomes.Marc ThompsonDirector, The Love TankCo-founder, PrepsterLondon, United KingdomTristan J.
