Rapid access to diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections not only provides more optimal patient care to individuals, but also interrupts chains of transmission, thus benefitting the public health as well. There are many barriers to rapid access to care but the 56 Dean Street clinic in London has raised the bar higher than any other clinic in Europe, and we have much to learn from them as well. In this presentation, Dr. Gary Whitlock will share the insights that have led to their remarkable success.
