Let’s make HIV no big deal

I think one of the most operation-critical missions in HIV is to make HIV not a big deal.

And, what I mean by that for clinicians is it’s just a part of what we do.

So, really thinking about ways that we can put HIV into the flow of the work that we are doing every day.

Think about what we do with cholesterol screening. Think about what we do with like a flu vaccine. It’s just a part of what we offer people.

And so, HIV testing should be a part of what we offer folks because it changes people’s lives. And if we start making it a part of our routine, it becomes a part of our patients’ routine.
