Video content above is prompted by the following question:
1. Can you emphasize the importance of starting HIV treatment early after diagnosis?
- How do you go about educating your patient on initiating treatment and set them up for long term success?
- Do you start treatment the same day as the patient gets diagnosed? (Preferred regiments for rapid start?)
- Undetectable=untransmissible
- How do you identify barriers that may affect your patients’ treatment goals?
