Resource Summary: The National HIV/AIDS Strategy provides an update to the HIV National Strategic Plan (2021) and intends for the HIV epidemic to end by 2030. In addition, the strategy sets forth expectations to ensure patients living with HIV are treated, HIV health outcomes are improved, and health disparities are reduced. To aid in this effort, health centers have an opportunity to use their multidisciplinary teams and community partners to provide adequate support for individuals living with HIV and newly diagnosed with HIV. This webinar will provide an opportunity for health center staff to learn approaches to coordinating care for those newly diagnosed with HIV and identify how to measure success with their HIV program(s). This training will be in conjunction with the National LGBTQIA+ Education Center, The Fenway Institute, Fenway Health.
