SCSW Research & Practice Twilight session: How can we end the HIV epidemic?
Dr Natalie Hammond will lead this session titled: How can we end the HIV epidemic? Evaluating Person-centred Intensive Support for people who experience significant challenges engaging with HIV treatment and care in Greater Manchester.
The need for targeted health and social care co-ordination for people living with HIV (PLWH) was identified by staff at Manchester Foundation Trust.
Resultantly, the Intensive Support Service was established to coordinate interventions to address the social determinants of health. Interventions for PLWH with high levels of social needs were developed to ensure that those who test positive for HIV received the treatment and support to achieve an undetectable viral load which means they are unable to pass HIV on.
This session will present the evaluation findings of this service and explore how this voluntary sector led service, working in collaboration with clinical teams to address the wider complex needs of PLWH, resulted in improved outcomes with many service users achieving an undetectable viral load, preventing the onward transmission of HIV.
