Course overview

This course provides a short introduction to the treatment of key and vulnerable groups of people living with HIV, including men who have sex with men, sex workers, transgender individuals and people who use drugs. The course is part of the “Test My Knowledge: HIV” programme, providing bite-sized elearning for healthcare professionals who treat or come into contact with people living with HIV, from hospital doctors or nurses to general physicians and programme managers. The programme was created by three leading international experts in HIV – Professor Dr Jürgen Rockstroh (Germany), Dr Nittaya Phanuphak (Thailand) and Dr Tristan Barber (United Kingdom) – to improve knowledge of HIV in the treatment community, combat stigma and improve patient outcomes. This programme was funded through an unrestricted educational grant from Gilead. The sponsor had no influence on the selection of the scientific committee or topics, or on the creation of any content.
