We are a network of HIV specialists and primary care clinicians who provide collegial support and expertise to one another, enhancing and advancing care for persons with HIV disease in their communities.

Participants are invited to bring cases from their own practices for discussion.

At the completion of this program participants should be able to:

  • Apply current standards of care for HIV detection, diagnosis, staging, and surveillance for selected cases in aging patients with HIV.
  • Strategize appropriate interventions for selected cases in the patient over fifty.
  • Outline basic considerations for specialty consultation and referral, appropriate strategies for interventions of care team members, self-care and support, and follow-up in older HIV patient.
  • Define practice standards that address the legal and ethical responsibilities of care-providers
  • Identify common ethical dilemmas encountered in case management.
