The Health Goals for Me framework
The Health Goals for Me framework allows HCPs and PLHIV 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 PLHIV is not solely the doctor’s responsibility. PLHIV 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 PLHIV, 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.
Ask & Measure
Empower each PLHIV to engage with the management of their long-term healthy living
Feedback & Discuss
Give back the health status information in a format that the PLHIV can interpret, so they can discuss its relevance to the choice of appropriate intervention in partnership with their HCP
Intervention
Measurements and feedback are used to establish common goals and a hierarchy of interventions are determined through shared decision making by the HCP and PLHIV
