HIV: Shared Care for Chronic Disease Management

On-demand recorded 27 Apr 2020

A collaboration between RACGP Queensland and The Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM), this webinar will provide participants an overview of the chronic disease needs of people living with HIV, and aims to increase the capacity of the primary care workforce to engage in HIV management.

With continually improving treatment options, HIV infection is now considered a chronic condition. People living with HIV can expect to live long and productive lives and HIV infection can be managed using a team-based interdisciplinary ‘shared care’ approach involving GPs, specialists, nurses, allied health and specialist support services.
