U=U Guidance for Healthcare Professionals
CLIENT
ASHM
2021
The ASHM U=U Guidance for Healthcare Professionals is a landmark document designed to rigorously update medical evidence and address outdated perceptions regarding HIV transmission. While the scientific consensus on Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U) has been established for several years, its widespread adoption by healthcare systems has sometimes lagged.
This report sets a new global standard, Australia became the first country in the world to unequivocally endorse and integrate the U=U science into its national healthcare guidance.
This guide serves as a crucial strategic communication bridge, aiming to close the knowledge gap between clinical health professionals and people living with HIV (PLHIV). The document's primary objective is to empower practitioners with current, evidence-based data, thereby reducing stigma and facilitating informed discussions between patient and provider.

Infant Feeding Guidelines for People Living with HIV

2021
In partnership with the Australasian Society for HIV, Viral Hepatitis and Sexual Health Medicine (ASHM) and the National Association of People with HIV Australia (NAPWHA), I contributed to the redesign of the Infant Feeding Guidelines for People Living with HIV (PLHIV).
Strategic Design and Delivery
For Healthcare Providers (ASHM Resource): This detailed, professional guide was structured to educate clinicians, update outdated practices, and dismantle persistent stigma within clinical settings. The design prioritized clarity and authoritative presentation to ensure healthcare professionals have a single, reliable source for counseling and care provision.
For the HIV Positive Community (NAPWHA Resource): This accompanying guide was specifically tailored to be accessible, empowering, and culturally sensitive for community members. Its design aimed to directly provide PLHIV with the knowledge and options necessary to engage confidently with their healthcare providers and make informed personal decisions regarding infant feeding.
