Join us for a brief overview of HIV, including presentation, risk factors, prevention (including PrEP and PEP), diagnosis and management! We’ll discuss the change in attitudes to HIV since the 1980s and why it’s important to recognise the stigma people living with HIV face. We’ll also cover effective safeguarding in Sexual Health and key signs to look out for when looking after patients. These topics are useful for both medical school exams and the UKMLA!
