   Joanne Langley and Innocent Valea on Ebola vaccine in people living with HIV

   Ebola outbreaks occur in areas where many people are living with HIV; however, there is very little evidence on how people with HIV respond to Ebola vaccines. In this edition of the podcast, we talk to authors of a study assessing the safety and immunogenicity of an Ebola vaccine in people with well controlled HIV.

   Janet Turan and Zachary Kwena on home-based couples testing and counselling for HIV

   HIV remains underdiagnosed among men in many settings, contributing to ongoing transmission. When women seek care during pregnancy, there is an opportunity to reach out to their partners. Home-based couples testing and counselling can help to identify HIV and discuss other health issues. In this podcast, we look at a trial comparing lay counsellor delivered couples-based HIV testing with distributions of self-test kits, and standard of care in Kenya.

   Amy Justice and Keri Althoff on the Lancet HIV Commission on ageing and HIV

   Living longer with HIV is one of medicine's greatest success stories, but longevity brings new challenges. By 2040, more than half of all people living with HIV are expected to be over the age of 50, and their health pathways during ageing are very heterogeneous. What does that mean for patients, clinicians, and health systems worldwide? Are our health systems ready for this shift in the HIV ageing demographics? In this episode, Amy Justice and Keri Althoff discuss The Lancet HIV Commission on Ageing and HIV: A global perspective, exploring why the future of HIV care must shift beyond viral suppression toward healthy ageing, integrated care, and what matters most to people living with HIV.
