“HIV & Aging: Improving Health and Wellness” was presented as part of the LGBT Elder Initiative’s Conversations series on Saturday, December 5th, 2015 at Center in the Park in Germantown. The program covered a range of topics related to growing older with HIV/AIDS, sharing information aimed at improving health outcomes for HIV+ older adults.
This Conversation was the first program in the LGBT Elder Initiative’s new HIV & Aging series. Expanding upon the HIV & Aging Conversations that the LGBTEI has offered in each of the past three years, this new series will provide a means of more comprehensively exploring the medical, pharmacological, emotional, legal, and relational aspects of aging and HIV/AIDS. “HIV & Aging: Improving Health and Wellness” served as the kick-off of the pilot of this series and will be built upon through programming over the next six months.
“HIV & Aging: Improving Health and Wellness” was presented by the LGBT Elder Initiative and sponsored by the AIDS Activities Coordinating Office (AACO). Additional support for this Conversation was provided by the Philadelphia Gay News.
