The Essentials of HIV-Integrated Care: Expanding Whole-Person Care Through Comprehensive and Specialty Trainings, is an HIV syndemic focused training series aimed at providing the most up-to-date information and education for medical health care team members currently not involved in HIV care to increase their ability to prevent new HIV infections, identify people with HIV who are undiagnosed or out of care, and link patients not on antiretrovirals to care.
This session will be on HIV Screening & PrEP for Adolescents & Young Adults and will be presented by Jill Wagner, LICSW & Carly Guss, MD, MPH from Boston's Children Hospital.
The learning objectives include:
- Describe the epidemiology of HIV among adolescents and young adults (AYA).
- Describe when pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can be prescribed for adolescents.
- Practice communication with AYA about sex and sexual health.
- Identify ways in which your practice can help keep adolescents engaged with PrEP.
All sessions provided in the Essentials of HIV-Integrated Care Series are CME-accredited. For more information, please reach out Dante Gennaro, Program Director of the NEAETC's Yale University Local Partner site.
