I am here to prepare for a conversation about an HIV cure.

Discussing an HIV cure can be quite challenging, both for healthcare professionals and for people with HIV. While the search for a cure offers hope, it simultaneously raises questions and uncertainties. News about research breakthroughs can create expectations that are not (yet) in line with reality.

By opening up this topic, you can help present this information correctly, manage expectations, and support your patients with any concerns or questions.

We will first ask you two questions.

Question 01 What are your thoughts on HIV cure?

I don't think I will experience this again during my career.

I think this will happen within 5-10 years

I think that an HIV cure is possible, but that it will certainly take more than 10 years.

I don't think HIV will be curable.

Your answer:

Watch the video below about how researchers think about an HIV cure.

I think everyone with HIV is waiting for an HIV cure.

I think that some people are waiting for an HIV cure and others are not.

I think people with HIV do not see a cure as a priority.

Your answer:

Watch the video below about how people with HIV think about an HIV cure.

You have just watched two videos that each offer a different perspective on HIV cure. The first video provided insight into developments in the field and how various researchers are working on and thinking about this. The second video showed how different people living with HIV think about HIV cure and how they deal with it. Opinions and expectations on this subject vary greatly. Some people look forward to a possible cure, while others focus more on living in the present.

Has your opinion changed after watching the videos?

To prepare well for the conversation, I would like to review the following information:

Select the topics below that can help you with your preparation.

The selected topics will automatically appear in your personal reading list. You can go through them one by one at a time that suits you. So it doesn't all have to be done at once. Returning to the site on this device later? Then you simply continue where you left off.
