What if one of the most misunderstood diagnoses of the past is now one of the most manageable chronic conditions? How can GPs play a pivotal role in tackling stigma, increasing testing and improving outcomes for people living with HIV?Dr James Waldron is joined by Dr Grace Bottoni (HIV and Hepatitis C GP Champion, Lewisham) for the first episode in an insightful series that dives into the evolving landscape of HIV care. Together, they will explore a range of topics with experts in the field. In this episode, they talk with Dr Mel Rosenvinge (Consultant HIV Specialist, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust) about what HIV is, how far treatments have come and the critical role of early diagnosis. From reducing stigma to understanding the life-changing impact of "U=U" (undetectable equals untransmittable). This episode sets the foundation for the series, with future parts diving into what GPs can do to improve health outcomes and address broader medical issues for people living with HIV.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/infectious-disease/ep-152-rethinking-hiv-from-testing-to-transformation (https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/infectious-disease/ep-152-rethinking-hiv-from-testing-to-transformation).Did you know?

Dupuytren’s disease is a chronic, progressive condition that primarily affects the palmar and digital fascia of the hand. Over time, fibrous cords form under the skin, thickening and contracting, which can cause the fingers (most often the ring and little fingers) to curl inward. This results in Dupuytren’s contracture, limiting hand function and impacting daily activities. It often starts with the formation of painless nodules in the palm. As the disease progresses, these nodules develop into cords that restrict finger movement. While the condition is not life-threatening, it can significantly affect a person’s quality of life and is a common presentation in general practice. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the diagnosis of Dupuytren’s, its risk factors, usual management and some of the newer treatment techniques now available.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/dermatology/ep-151-dupuytrens-disease (https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/dermatology/ep-151-dupuytrens-disease).Did you know?

Roseola infantum is a viral infection primarily affecting infants and young children, most commonly between the ages of 6 and 12 months. It accounts for 10–45% of febrile illnesses in infants, and cases tend to peak in the spring and autumn seasons. Diagnosing roseola is almost always clinical, and for patients with the classic presentation a clinical diagnosis can be made based on physical examination findings and history alone. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the causes and typical symptoms of roseola, along with illnesses that may mimic it, treatment options and possible complications of the illness.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/dermatology/ep-150-roseola (https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/dermatology/ep-150-roseola).Did you know?
