This panel session will bring together legal experts, clinicians and community advocates in a facilitated discussion to consider some the challenges faced by clinicians in responding to patient enquires about disclosure and matters relating to risk and harm to themselves and others in light of shifting policy changes and biomedical advances in HIV. The discussion will address: • the inconsistent messaging/information related to risk of HIV transmission to various patient groups • the science behind HIV transmission and a consistent approach to discussing this with patients such as ‘undetectable = untransmissible’ (U=U) • what is needed to better discuss HIV transmission to various patient groups • public health interventions, reckless endangerment laws and criminalisation across various jurisdictions
