Description

This teaching session is the second in our new webinar series on LGBTQ healthcare.

This week we will be focusing on HIV, exploring diagnosis and management, as well as its social implications.

Aimed at medical students and resident doctors who want to improve their ability and confidence when treating LGBTQ patients. Join us for this fantastic learning opportunity!

Summary

Join our engaging webinar on LGBTQ healthcare! A guide to approaching HIV in your clinical practice:

We will be revisiting some basic pathophysiology, when and how to test for HIV, and how it is managed. We will also discuss how this life-long but manageable chronic condition can affect your patients long-term, and how we can all work together to break down the stigma against HIV.
