Health Goals for Me framework
The 'Health Goals for Me' framework
The 'Health Goals for Me' framework allows HCPs and people living with HIV to move from a ‘goal for all’ approach to treatment (i.e. diagnosis, access to ART and viral suppression) towards a ‘goals for me’ (i.e. healthy living with HIV based on what the individual has reason to value).
Accomplishing good QoL for people living with HIV is not solely the doctor’s responsibility. People living with HIV are often experts of their own condition; regardless of a doctor’s proficiency, only the patient truly knows how they feel.
Therefore, the 'Health Goals for Me' framework is designed to facilitate continuous collaboration between HCPs and people living with HIV, ensuring that both stakeholders meet the wider objective of healthy living with HIV.

White Paper: Moving Fourth Chapter 1
Learn about the conception of the 'Health Goals for Me' framework in the first chapter of Moving Fourth, where the Moving Fourth Steering Committee developed this initial step toward their vision for healthy living with HIV beyond viral suppression.
Empower each person living with HIV to engage with the management of their long-term healthy living
Give back the health status information in a format that people living with HIV can interpret, so they can discuss its relevance to the choice of appropriate intervention in partnership with their HCP
Measurements and feedback are used to establish common goals and a hierarchy of interventions are determined through shared decision making by the HCP and person living with HIV
