#AIDS2026: Operationalizing Person-Centred Care in Community-Based Clinics in the Philippines

A roadmap can tell us where we need to go. But can we actually get there?

The global consensus on person-centred care in the HIV response offers an ambitious roadmap for transforming how HIV services are designed and delivered [https://doi.org/10.1002/jia2.70071]. But translating consensus into routine practice is where the real implementation challenge begins.

At AIDS 2026, we bring this roadmap into the realities of community-based HIV service delivery in the Philippines. Drawing from the experience of the SAIL Clinic network, the presentation explores a practical question: Can the global roadmap for person-centred HIV care be feasibly operationalized within a community-based organization; and what happens when global aspirations meet the realities of everyday service delivery?

The question is no longer simply whether person-centred care is desirable. We already know that it is. The more difficult question is whether it is feasible, implementable, and sustainable within real-world HIV care systemsโ€”and what needs to change when it is not.

Because the true test of a roadmap is not whether we agree with the destination, but whether it can help us navigate the realities of getting there.
