The 2023 IDPHSB Center for HIV Prevention and Health Services Integrated Statewide Meeting: "Mobilizing Our Efforts for Outcomes-Based Success" took place virtually on Friday, November 3, 2023 from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM Eastern.
This module examines three related non-pharmacological approaches to pain management. The module will discuss relevant benefits and risks associated with these therapies. Additionally, the module provides health professionals with the ability to integrate these approaches into their practice and knowledge of which patients are good candidates for these types of pain treatments.
This Module is addressing the aging population of people living with HIV in the Ryan White community with a look at Washington DC. In the presentation, you will note aging, older than 50, and older than 55 are used interchangeably. In some cases that data looked at a populations over 55.

Young people living with HIV (PLWHIV) are at an increased risk for developing mental health disorders than people not living with HIV. PLWHIV commonly internalize negative attitudes and beliefs resulting from widespread HIV stigma, which leads to poor mental health outcomes and difficulty medically managing HIV. Challenges in mental health can negatively affect engagement in medical care and adherence to medical treatment.
This module aims to increase the audience’s understanding of mental health challenges of children, adolescents, and young adults living with HIV and to provide ways to address their particular needs and promote overall physical and mental health

This session provides a non-clinical view of harm reduction, with a particular focus on its intersection with aging. The presenter draws upon her lived experiences from layered perspectives on substance use, mental well-being, HIV, and aging to review models and techniques supporting informed decision-making to define one's personal view of harm reduction. The presentation includes a discussion of some behaviors that support as well as hinder smooth sustainability across one's lifespan.

By 2030, nearly 75% of all people living with HIV (PWH) in the US will be aged 50 and older. 84% will most likely have at least one (1) additional comorbidity; 28% will have three (3)—compared with only 19% of those not living with HIV. And while older PWH have shown higher rates of service engagement compared with their younger counterparts, the successes prolonging “physical” health is undermining other aspects of successful aging with HIV and their interventions. Together with community leaders, provider participants will discuss and frame their shared experience conversations into adaptive and innovative recommendations and evidence-based interventions that reduce disability and improve service delivery for PAWH.
With improved access to antiretrovirals, people are now aging and living longer with HIV (PAWH). While the care cascade highlights our shared medical successes, it doesn’t show the entire picture of the true “costs” of graying of HIV. In fact, health systems often overlook the underlying problem of HIV’s distinctiveness—especially as we age. In an increasingly bio-medicalized context of care delivery, what does successful aging with HIV look like? This roundtable brings together people living and aging with HIV (15 years or more) to review and reflect upon the current capacity and future constraints of the HIV and aging care and prevention services sectors, and the discrete needs that follow.

Harm reduction meets people wherever they are ready to begin their positive change journeys, supports the full range of positive change goals and emphasizes empowerment and collaboration between therapist and client. Drawing on relational, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness therapies, IHRP techniques are uniquely tailored to each person. A central focus on therapeutic alliance and relationship creates a safe context in which to clarify the meanings and functions of risky and addictive behavior, enhance self-regulation and develop alternative healthier, self-affirming solutions. Tatarsky will discuss harm reduction’s core principles, the limitations of traditional disease model based abstinence-only treatment, IHRP’s clinical rationale, supporting biopsychosocial theory and seven therapeutic tasks.
