HIV - What You Need to Know

Lecture Overview

Brief

When Judith's General Practitioner assumed she didn't need to be tested for HIV, "the demon came out of me". Presumption of not being at risk is just as dangerous as presuming someone is at risk, and this can be one of the barriers to effective screening and testing of this disease. In this amusing and informative talk, Dr Judith Dean gets back to basics to discuss this blood-borne virus.
