This webinar provides learning addressing the amplified stigma for persons living with an HIV and Mental Health diagnosis. Persons living with HIV/AIDS have many challenges including successfully adhering to treatment recommendations in order to maintain optimal health, negotiating disclosure of HIV status and coping with potential stigma. These are significant challenges; yet, for HIV-infected persons who also have mental health difficulties, these and other, challenges can be amplified. As such, the co-occurrence of HIV and mental illness poses a significant public health problem and represents a difficult challenge for those who treat and care for these persons. This requires integrated treatment services that focus beyond just mitigation of substance use and psychiatric and medical symptoms but also address other health behaviors. Participants will learn about specific treatment modalities for which there is a dearth of literature addressing HIV-infected cohorts providing a discussion of issues around substance use treatment as an HIV prevention tool.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
Define the differences between HIV, HBV, and HCV.
Identify & Educate Clients about interventions for Pre-Exposure, When Exposure Happens, & Post-Exposure
Examine statistics & other relevant information regarding the Co-morbidity of Mental Health & SUD in HIV Individuals.
Review and Implement interventions to address the negative consequences of HIV and co-occurring mental illness.
Analyze Harm Reduction Methods & Determine the Role in Integrated Care when Substance Use is a factor
