The 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 Across Unique Populations, will be presented by Jona Tanguay, MS, PA-C, AAHIVS, CAQ-Psych from Amida Care.

1. Contextualize stimulant use disorder and substance use among unique populations at elevated risk for HIV using epidemiology and syndemic theory.
2. Apply harm reduction methodology to support the wellness of people who participate in sexualized drug use.
3. Translate clinical research on treatments for stimulants into therapeutic prescribing practices.
All sessions provided in the CT Statewide Grand Round Series are CME-accredited. For more information, please reach out Dante Gennaro, Program Director of the NEAETC's Connecticut Local Partner site at Yale University.
