Overcoming barriers to person-centred care for people living with and affected by HIV

24 Nov 2026

Webinar – Overcoming barriers to person-centred care for people living with and affected by HIV

Person-centred care responds to an individual’s comprehensive needs, values and preferences, rather than focusing solely on their clinical condition. Amid constrained global health funding, especially for community-led and peer-delivered care, sustaining progress in person-centred HIV care is increasingly challenging. Reduced access to and disengagement from HIV prevention and care can undermine the well-being and health outcomes of people living with HIV or vulnerable to HIV acquisition.Barriers to person-centred care span several levels, including systemic, social, service design, workforce and financing factors. This webinar will explore recent evidence and case studies that illustrate barriers to person-centred care and spotlight approaches to overcoming them. The expert panel discussion will centre the perspectives of people living with and affected by HIV, examining context-specific strategies to improve access to person-centred and equitable care. Participants will learn how person-centred interventions made at the service-provision level and during client-provider interactions can address structural factors, strengthen care experiences and improve health outcomes.&nbsp;Objectives:Explore recent evidence and case studies that illustrate barriers to person-centred care and help identify facilitators.Highlight the perspectives of people living with and affected by HIV who are seeking care.Provide examples of interventions to strengthen person-centred service delivery and improve client-provider interactions.For more information, please contact&nbsp;pcc@iasociety.org.

AIDS 2026 pre-conference: 12th Symposium on Children and Adolescents with Perinatal HIV Exposure

As of 2024, an estimated 16 million children under 15 years of age had been perinatally exposed to HIV globally and were born HIV-free. An expanding body of evidence shows that these children experience a higher likelihood of infectious morbidity, mortality, impaired growth and suboptimal neurodevelopmental and cognitive outcomes than peers born to mothers without HIV, with the aetiology of these adverse outcomes reflecting an interplay of biological, social and structural factors.
