The Human Touch

There have been quite a few moments from our prior interviews that felt powerful and important, but which didn't make the cut for the final podcast audio, usually due to time constraints. These are moments that embrace the essence of this podcast, which is to go beyond the data to discuss where HIV medicine and services are changing in the United States, and to talk about how we can learn and adapt to create better outcomes for patients and clients and, ultimately, to lead to a better future.   Your co-hosts this month, TheBodyPro executive editor Myles Helfand and contributing editor Juan Michael Porter II, offer analysis as we review never-before-heard conversations with Deborah Cohan, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of California-San Francisco and David Alain Wohl, M.D., of the University of North Carolina. We'll discuss racism, COVID-19, telehealth, and how the answer to so many of the systemic issues we face in HIV care today lies within an approach that focuses on one person at a time, one moment at a time -- and by taking simple steps to acknowledge and respect one another's humanity.   Read the full transcript (clicking the link helps support the podcast!): https://www.thebodypro.com/article/future-hiv-care-podcast-4-human-touch   Our podcast team: Executive producer Myles Helfand; audio producers/engineers Alex Portaluppi and Lucy Mueller; project manager Alina Mogollon-Volk; and podcast editors Maria Elena Perez and Juan Michael Porter II.
