| Lessons/suggestions | The panel was great! Hearing from patients what it is like to live with HIV from day-to-day was a fantastic addition to Global AIDS week of Action. Getting the panel together itself was rather stressful, though, and if we were to do it again, I would really try to get a more diverse group of patients. |
