The HIV care continuum represents a linear clinical pathway from testing to viral suppression; however, it does not capture the psychosocial complexities of contemporary HIV care. We developed an innovative and appealing visual learning resource to extend the scope of HIV health literacy beyond biomedical constructs. Based on the lived experiences of recently diagnosed people living with HIV in Queensland, the "Journeys through the HIV Care Continuum" Map presents the continuum as a complex journey incorporating challenges such as poor health literacy, health service access and stigma alongside facilitators to care, including emotional and peer support. Designed for audiences who may not access academic literature, the Map can be used to facilitate conversations between recently diagnosed people living with HIV and peer navigators, and as a learning tool for health professionals, carers and students. The Map highlights opportunities to support PLHIV in meaningful ways that will reduce stigma and promote care access.
HIV 关怀连续体代表了从检测到病毒抑制的线性临床途径;然而,它并没有捕捉到当代 HIV 关怀的心理社会复杂性。我们开发了一种创新且吸引人的视觉学习资源,将 HIV 健康素养的范围扩展到生物医学结构之外。基于昆士兰州最近被诊断感染艾滋病毒的人的生活经历,“HIV 关怀连续体之旅”地图将连续体呈现为一条复杂的旅程,其中包括健康素养差、获得卫生服务和污名化等挑战,以及情感和同伴支持等促进关怀的因素。该地图专为可能无法获取学术文献的受众设计,可用于促进最近被诊断感染 HIV 的人和同伴导航员之间的对话,也可作为卫生专业人员、护理人员和学生的学习工具。该地图突出了以有意义的方式支持 PLHIV 的机会,这将减少污名化并促进获得护理。
