Mental Health Care for Older Adults with HIV
#094- [CEU Podcast] More than half of the people in the US living with HIV are 50 years old and older. With the use of antiretroviral medications, people who were diagnosed with HIV decades ago have been able to live well into older adulthood. Sadly, stigma due to age, sexual orientation, gender identity, and HIV status contributes to poor mental and physical health among older adults living with HIV.
In this continuing education podcast, you’ll learn current statistics related to HIV among people aged 50 and over, you’ll discover:
- the social, cultural, and medical reasons that adults 55 and older live with HIV longer before getting a diagnosis.
- intersections between HIV and mental health concerns
- tools for helping older adults living with HIV.
