VIDEO: MAI Series--Sexual Health, HIV, and Disabilities (06/04/24)
Details
Description
This program will provide information on the relationship between HIV, sexual health, and some of the demographic overlap in populations. We will also discuss how to make sexual health information and medical content digestible for all patients while understanding that behaviors that put an individual at risk for HIV are not limited to persons without disabilities.
This event is part of the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Series, "Unity in Diversity: Engaging Minorities in HIV Care and Prevention."
