Living well with HIV and cancer

In this episode, we explore HIV and cancer, focusing on how to better support people navigating diagnosis and treatment. Through conversation with Roland Chesters and Emma Davey, we discuss changing outcomes in HIV care, increased cancer risk, and the challenges of navigating multiple healthcare teams. The conversation highlights the impact of stigma, the importance of clear communication and inclusive language, and why person-centred, collaborative care is essential for people living with HIV and cancer. Content warning: This episode contains conversations about lived experience of cancer and HIV which you may find upsetting or triggering.
