In this episode, we hear from 2 people living with HIV: Melanie Reese from the United States and Marc Thompson from the United Kingdom. Both Melanie and Marc have done important work in the HIV field as patient advocates. Today, they will be discussing their experiences in accessing and navigating their own HIV care, with a focus on some of the barriers that can complicate and even block a person's journey across the HIV care continuum. In reviewing these challenges, Marc and Melanie share their insights on key strategies that can help to facilitate HIV care for patients, making the experience more straightforward and minimizing the impact that HIV has on their daily lives. Presenters:Melanie ReeseSubject Matter Expert, Older Women Living and Aging with HIV, HIV North America Health Resources and Services Administration HIV/AIDS BureauExecutive Director, Older Women Embracing LifeBoard Secretary, International Community of Women Living with HIVBaltimore, MarylandMarc ThompsonDirector, The Love TankCo-founder, PrepsterLondon, EnglandContent based on an online CME/CPE/CE program supported by an independent educational grant from Gilead Sciences, Inc. Link to full program:https://bit.ly/3Pas4zn
