40 years into the HIV epidemic and despite significant biomedical advancements, stigma still challenges prevention and treatment. In this training, participants will learn to identify examples of stigma in healthcare practice, and understand the negative impacts of stigma on patients and their communities.

This event is the second in a webinar series focusing on primary care providers in Montgomery County Maryland. Primary care providers play a critical role in Montgomery County’s Plan to End HIV by 2030. The Pride in Sexual Health Mini-Symposium is a web-based, CME/CEU-backed educational series designed to build primary care clinicians’ knowledge, skills and practice to support early HIV diagnosis, effective treatment and prevention. The series will conclude with a full-day, in-person, facilitated practicum at the Silver Spring Civic Center, where participants will have opportunities to practice their new skills with role play, small group discussion, standardized patients, and case study.
