2024 USCHA Institute: Expanding the HIV & Aging Response with Urgency, Action, and Intention

2024 USCHA Institute

Expanding the HIV & Aging Response with Urgency, Action, and Intention

Friday, September 13, 2024, 8:00 am – 11:00 am

Track: Stigma & Prioritizing People Living w/ HIV

This service-provider-focused institute will highlight local, state, and federal opportunities to improve care for people aging with HIV. The HIV and Aging service response requires increased collaboration to honor those aging with HIV. Historically, Aging services and the HIV response have multiple similarities. Communities stepped up when the systems fell short, and we shared resources to address service gaps. With increasing needs and diminishing funding, collaboration is more critical than ever. Our nation’s aging demographic shift provides a unique opportunity to align HIV and Aging service spaces. By attending this institute, providers will improve their ability to support and center community member’s power, create innovative systems of care, and advocate for structural change.

Objectives:

After this session, attendees should be able to

1. Identify alignment opportunities between HIV services and Aging services
2. Assess adaptable components of care models to support optimal quality of life outcomes for people aging with HIV
3. Describe three strategies to center and support community members in programmatic, policy, and research collaborations
4. Formulate collaboration plans that create robust, tailored service networks for people aging with HIV
