We discuss the support that is available for people if they choose to write for HIV Nursing and go on to talk about the role of mentorship.

The focus of the podcast is to explore how we approach and manage people who choose to opt out of treatment, otherwise termed as Intentional Non- Adherence. When we are talking about this aspect of care, non-adherence falls into two categories: Intentional and Unintentional. Unintentional non-adherence is when a patient unintentionally struggles to take their tablets due to barriers that are beyond their control, for example forgetfulness or drug and alcohol issues. Intentional non˗adherence is when a patient intentionally decides to stop their treatment.
Episode Guest

Since the start of the HIV epidemic care has focused on quality of life, in the early days this was in part due to the limited treatment options available for people living with HIV alongside a strong humanistic desire to provide optimum care. Advances in HIV care has led to HIV care having more of a medical focus with national and international targets focusing on the prevention of new infections. Despite advances in medical treatment the impact of being diagnosed and living with the HIV, has a significant impact for many people, across all aspects of their life. Factors that impact on health-related quality of life for people living with HIV are often poorly understood and explored in health care settings.
The podcast will explore the current issues people living with HIV experience that impact on their quality of life. The podcast aims to provide educational content and discussions with key leaders in HIV care in the UK, Europe and America. Some of which I have had the pleasure of working with throughout my career.
The podcast will be released on a Wednesday for the duration of the series. Each series will contain at least 10 episodes with at least one special edition. Within episode there will be a specific show theme which will focus on current and topical issues within HIV care, either from a clinical or research perspective. Topics such as psychological care, adherence, nurse education, menopause, stigma and much, much more will be covered on the podcast. We will also be providing regular National HIV Nursing Association updates and would also like to invite you as listeners to contribute to the podcast.
