Webinar – Overcoming barriers to person-centred care for people living with and affected by HIV

Photo: ©Isabel Corthier/MSFPerson-centred care responds to an individual’s comprehensive needs, values and preferences, rather than focusing solely on their clinical condition. Amid constrained global health funding, especially for community-led and peer-delivered care, sustaining progress in person-centred HIV care is increasingly challenging. Reduced access to and disengagement from HIV prevention and care can undermine the well-being and health outcomes of people living with HIV or vulnerable to HIV acquisition.Barriers to person-centred care span several levels, including systemic, social, service design, workforce and financing factors. This webinar will explore recent evidence and case studies that illustrate barriers to person-centred care and spotlight approaches to overcoming them. The expert panel discussion will centre the perspectives of people living with and affected by HIV, examining context-specific strategies to improve access to person-centred and equitable care. Participants will learn how person-centred interventions made at the service-provision level and during client-provider interactions can address structural factors, strengthen care experiences and improve health outcomes.&nbsp;Objectives:Explore recent evidence and case studies that illustrate barriers to person-centred care and help identify facilitators.Highlight the perspectives of people living with and affected by HIV who are seeking care.Provide examples of interventions to strengthen person-centred service delivery and improve client-provider interactions.Moderator: Ángela León Cáceres, Women4GlobalFund, EcuadorSpeakers:Nina Tumanyan, AIDS Action Europe (AAE), GermanyMichelle Medeiros, Florianópolis Municipal Health Department, BrazilFrancis Kasujja, Medical Research Council / Uganda Virus Research Institute (MRC/UVRI) and London School of Hygiene &amp; Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) Uganda Research Unit, UgandaTammy Phillips, University of Cape Town, South AfricaKombatende Sikombe, Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ), ZambiaHarry Prabowo, Asia-Pacific Network of People living with HIV/AIDS (APN+), ThailandFor more information, please contact&nbsp;pcc@iasociety.org.

Rising to the challenge: Enhancing efforts to eliminate vertical transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B
In 2022, the World Health Organization launched the triple elimination initiative to leverage existing health platforms for the elimination of vertical transmission of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B. These three diseases remain highly prevalent across Africa and contribute significantly to infant morbidity and mortality. Without treatment, infants born to mothers living with HIV face a 15-45% likelihood of acquiring HIV. Untreated maternal syphilis results in adverse outcomes in up to 80% of cases; and in highly endemic regions, 90% of infants who acquire hepatitis B vertically will develop chronic hepatitis B if not protected through timely vaccination.
