Comprehensive Patient Care (AME)

This edition brings into focus stigma and discrimination that people living with HIV experience on a daily basis and how this affects uptake and retention in HIV testing, PrEP and ART services. In those lines, this edition will also provide insights in factors which impact HIV risks and outcomes in transgender people, who are often exposed to discrimination and social rejection. Finally, you will learn about HIV and STI syndemic drivers and how integration of services may reduce screening, prevention, and treatment gaps.

All modules can be followed independently and at your own pace. Complete the entire course to equip yourself with the knowledge to work towards making a significant impact on the quality of life of your patients faced with stigma and discrimination.
