I work as a primary care provider in an outpatient community health clinic, serves a urban population in Brooklyn, New York.
I see patients across the lifespan or from birth to death, as we like to say, um, and provide them with like direct clinical care for their chronic illnesses.
Due to the nature of community medicine, I work very locally with patients who are living right in the neighborhood where the clinic is located.
The demographic with which I work happens to have a fairly large population of people living with HIV, and I am currently the primary infectious disease practitioner at my clinic right now, meaning that I mainly provide the direct HIV care to these patients as well as providing HIV preventative care to other patients in my clinic.
I work as a didactic instructor within a DNP program here in New York, where I've been co-teaching a seminar on diagnosis and management in primary care.
In many ways, HIV care is sort of clinically no different from other chronic illnesses.
It requires the same focus on prevention and screening, patient partnership, and episodic care, of course, that I provide to all my patients, really regardless of their comorbidities.
