Description
Undetectable=Untransmittable: individuals who maintain viral suppression don't transmit HIV to their sexual partners. Yet some providers are uncomfortable discussing the implications of viral suppression in clinical encounters. This workshop will explore approaches to reduce provider discomfort in discussing U=U and present strategies to convey this message.
Learning Objectives
- Review the evidence regarding U=U.
- Explore approaches to address and reduce provider hesitation and discomfort in discussing U=U with patients.
- Present communication approaches and strategies to convey this message effectively during clinic encounters.
