Dr Nneka Nwokolo is an expert in HIV and menopause, women’s sexual and reproductive health, contraception, and more.

She is the Global Head of Patient Affairs at ViiV Healthcare and is committed to being at the forefront of raising awareness and understanding of little-discussed but important issues, helping people to live their healthiest lives.

Jack and Joel speak with Nneka about:

• What menopause is, the symptoms, and when it happens
• Treatment options for menopause, and why some are over- or under-prescribed
• How HIV and menopause change in the presence of the other
• Some common experiences that women living with HIV face when seeking a diagnosis and treatment for menopause, and more

Ann Maccarrone, ViiV Healthcare’s Community Engagement & Partnerships Manager also joins us as we discuss the recent ASHM and IUSTI Conferences.
