The Connecticut (CT) Statewide Grand Rounds Series, is a high-level, HIV syndemic focused training series aimed at providing the most up-to-date information and education for medical health care team members currently involved in HIV care looking 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 to achieve viral suppression.
This session, Evidence-Based Harm Reduction & Treatment for Stimulant Use Disorders Among Populations at Elevated Risk for HIV, will be presented by Jona Tanguay, MS, PA-C, AAHIVS, CAQ-Psych from Amida Care.
