I have over five years of experience managing HIV patients, including diagnosing, initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART), and monitoring treatment efficacy. I’ve worked in both clinical and community settings, ensuring adherence to treatment plans and addressing comorbidities. My approach emphasizes patient education, reducing stigma, and tailoring care to individual needs. I stay updated on the latest guidelines from organizations like WHO and CDC to provide evidence-based care.

I regularly attend conferences, such as the International AIDS Society Conference, and subscribe to journals like JAIDS and The Lancet HIV. I also participate in online forums and webinars hosted by leading HIV organizations. This helps me stay informed about new therapies, drug resistance patterns, and emerging research, ensuring my practice aligns with the latest evidence-based standards.

I prioritize clear, empathetic communication to educate patients about HIV, treatment options, and the importance of adherence. I use visual aids, simplified language, and culturally sensitive materials to ensure understanding. I also address barriers like stigma, mental health, or socioeconomic challenges, offering tailored solutions such as reminder tools or support groups to improve adherence and overall outcomes.

I once managed a patient with advanced HIV and multidrug resistance. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, we conducted resistance testing and designed a salvage regimen. Through close monitoring and addressing side effects, we achieved viral suppression. This case reinforced the importance of persistence, teamwork, and personalized care in managing complex HIV cases.

I integrate psychosocial support into my practice by addressing stigma, mental health, and social determinants of health. I collaborate with social workers, psychologists, and community organizations to provide holistic care. By fostering a nonjudgmental environment and offering resources like counseling and peer support, I help patients navigate the emotional and social challenges of living with HIV.
