HIV health literacy is essential for people living with HIV (PLWH) to be able to navigate all of the information available, from testing and diagnosis to treatment options and outcomes. This series of webisodes seeks to promote patient education, focusing on the needs of diverse populations of PLWH, to empower learners and improve their understanding and HIV health literacy.
If you have tested positive for HIV, what next? Dr. David Wohl will help you understand what to expect from treatment, including why it is important to start treatment early and take your medicine every day, what you should look out for, and potential side effects of HIV treatment.
Everyone should be tested for HIV at least once. Others with certain risk factors may need to be tested more often. Dr. David Wohl talks about the rationale for getting tested for HIV, where to get tested, the importance of preventing infection and transmission of HIV with pre-exposure prophylaxis if your HIV test is negative, and your treatment options if your test is positive.
This easy-to-understand animated video will provide you with useful information to better understand HIV, its routes of transmission, and currently available prevention and treatment strategies.
