The HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau’s Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) is pleased to announce a new Integrating HIV Innovative Practices (IHIP) Webinar Series on “Replicating Innovative HIV Care Strategies in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.”
“Innovative HIV Care Strategies Using a Comprehensive Approach to Address the Needs of Priority Populations”
Friday, June 7, 2024, 12:00 – 1:30 pm ET
Continuing education credits are jointly provided by Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and The MayaTech Corporation.
Description
This webinar will feature two interventions that provide supportive services for people with HIV. These include addressing issues unique to people of color, including Black cisgender and transgender women with HIV. The Black Women’s Project (BWP) focuses on delivering bundled evidence-informed intervention components to Black cisgender and transgender women with HIV by bundling HIV treatment with evidence-informed trauma-based behavioral health access, trans-life care, and enhanced case management. The Curing Hepatitis C among People of Color with HIV initiative supported a multifaceted approach to help people with HIV prevent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection or reinfection by, among other things, expanding HCV prevention, testing, care, and treatment capacity. Both interventions are implemented at the individual and system level.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) recipients, subrecipients, and other health services providers engaged in the care of patients with HIV.
