The panelists share their experiences in providing care to underserved communities, emphasizing the importance of building trust and dismantling stigma in healthcare settings. They discuss strategies for ensuring that individuals living with HIV have access to the care, support, and resources they need to live healthy lives, regardless of their background or circumstances.
