  • The Dual Perspective

    The Dual Perspective
    Oct 16 2024
    In The Dual Perspective, Dr. Naomi Sutton is joined by Aoife Commins, a registered nurse and HIV advocate based in Galway, Ireland, to speak about Aoife's unique experience of being both a healthcare professional and living proudly with HIV. Aoife shares her diagnosis story and the challenges she encountered along the way, including stigma and misinformation - even among healthcare professionals. Aoife and Naomi discuss the state of HIV education, while sharing some key tips and resources for listeners to combat stigma and improve the understanding of HIV outside of the specialty.



    " I did everything right. I took every step. I got tested. We were using condoms. We decided to stop using condoms and I still caught it. You know, it can happen to literally anyone. You can do everything right and still catch it. So, we have to stop with this kind of whole moral hierarchy of HIV"
    " In society, we should not have to defend ourselves and advocate for ourselves in healthcare. It just shouldn't be the way it is. And it's very frustrating for people living with HIV."
    " And if somebody sat in front of you saying, please, could you test for HIV? Just do the test. "


    Aoife Commins is a Registered Nurse in Acute Medicine at University Hospital Galway, an HIV advocate and speaker dedicated to raising awareness about HIV, sexual health, and combating stigma based in Ireland. Follow Aoife on Instagram @aoifecommins.

  • Managing Complexities

    Managing Complexities
    Jul 12 2024
    In Managing Complexities, Dr. Naomi Sutton is joined by Dr. Lauren Walker to discuss a topic that is becoming more pertinent as people living with HIV live longer: multiple co-morbidities in an aging cohort. The goal has shifted from keeping people living with HIV alive to improving their quality of life as they age. Lauren walks listeners through the relationship between HIV and co-morbidities, the cumulative burden of small harms and the impact of polypharmacy on quality of life. Lauren and Naomi discuss where the responsibility of de-prescribing lies, and when clinicians should undertake medicines optimisation; as well as working towards a more ideal approach to managing co-morbidities in the presence of HIV. " The important point for GPs that are listening is around challenging diagnoses and making sure that actually, that diagnosis is still present, that the person is still dizzy or itchy, so therefore they still need it – because they may not. " " Decisions about medicine shouldn't only be made by the clinician in front of you. It should be a shared decision where we talk about risk and we talk about benefit and the potential harms of medicines and we decide together what's your priority and what do you want to do. " " And that's really important then that if there is medicine that you feel that this patient needs to manage their multiple long-term conditions, then by all means speak to the HIV team to say, is this safe?"

  • Fast-Track Cities

    Fast-Track Cities
    Jun 5 2024
    Dr. Naomi Sutton is joined by Professor Jane Anderson to talk about Fast-Track Cities and their role in Getting to Zero, particularly in maximising the collaboration between funding bodies such as local government, existing health and care services, patient advocacy groups and charities to design and deliver interventions tailored to local populations. Jane takes Naomi and listeners through the history and accomplishments of Fast-Track Cities, and how to implement the principles of Fast-Track Cities and partnership working even if you don’t live in a city.
    " Cities are places that have got huge populations. HIV is often an urban problem. And importantly, cities have got power over their health economies, over the lives of their citizens that can be used to really good effect, to ensure that cities fast-track their HIV responses "
    " People living with HIV are experiencing stigma and discrimination in their lives, and in particular, in some healthcare settings. And we know that internalised stigma is a real problem. So, without addressing that, we're not going to get to zero "
    " We are in a health and care system that's quite split and quite divided. So we need to make sure that we are together, and we also need to make sure that people living with HIV are front and centre of every initiative "
