New HIV Diagnosis – Now What? (Session 2 of 4) Part two of our HIV training series focused on the care of individuals newly diagnosed with HIV, as well as those reentering or transferring into care. This session explored the goals and key components of the initial clinical evaluation and the unique aspects of HIV management within a primary care setting. While primary care for people living with HIV shares many similarities with general primary care, there are important differences—particularly regarding the prevention and management of both infectious and non-infectious complications. The session will highlight how integrating HIV services into primary care settings can improve patient outcomes and help normalize HIV care as part of routine health management. This training also equiped health care professionals with strategies for initiating and maintaining antiretroviral therapy (ART), with a focus on achieving and sustaining an undetectable viral load. This outcome not only improves patient health but also eliminates the risk of sexual transmission of HIV—known as Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U). |
