In this episode, Winnie Sseruma and Linda-Gail Bekker, MBChB, DTM&H, DCH, FCP(SA), PhD, discuss some of the barriers to genuinely patient-centered HIV care in Africa and offer calls to action for healthcare professionals for responding to patient preferences.

They discuss the efforts to improve patient-centered HIV care in the foundations and organizations for which they work. They also address issues related to stigma around HIV and complacency and lack of visibility for HIV.

You will then hear them talk through differentiated service delivery in South Africa and Mozambique as models for other parts of Africa. They focus on HIV prevention and some of the difficulties of reaching certain populations to better communicate effective prevention practices.
