“Working with drug addicts brings out some of health careproviders’ worst fears, prejudices, and feelings of powerlessness.” “It is arrogant for a doctor (nurse) to presume - yet we do it all the time - that we can suddenly put a stop to a patient’s drug addiction, which by the time we first see the patient has become a powerful, biologically reinforced behaviour that has lasted for years if not decades.” “Our role as care providers is to be there, to bear witness, to be willing to accompany patients through their illness, and to refrain from passing judgment. Neither can we save them nor do we have the right to condemn them.” Peter A. Selwyn, Surviving the Fall: The personal journey of an AIDS doctor.
“The only non compliant people are physicians (nurses) . If the patient doesn’t get better, it’s your own fault. Fix it.” Dr. Paul Farmer Mountains Beyond Mountains: Healing the World: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer
HIV/ Hep C CoInfectionOverview: • Teamwork THANK YOU CAHN nurses ! • Open doors: more room at the inn • Increasing clinical and cultural competence • Adherence, adherence , adherence • Beyond coinfection treatment as engagement in life change
Coinfection Overview • HCV 2013 = HIV 1999 • Guidelines: here today … gone tomorrow • IFN = child who won’t leave home • Leaky cascade: increase treatment • Health Infrastructure – merge HIV/ HCV treatment systems • Peer involvement : Navigators / Facilitators • Ways forward: look to Europe / cohorts
