Session Title: HIV and Substance Use Disorders: Implications for Elder Populations
Presenters: Lawrence Bryant, PhD, MPH, BSW, RRT
Description: This webinar will explore the intersection of HIV and substance use disorders (SUD) in older adults. As the population ages, the prevalence of HIV among older adults has increased, often compounded by issues related to substance use. This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to the vulnerability of older adults to HIV and SUD. Participants will examine the unique challenges faced by this demographic, including stigma, healthcare access, and the impact of co-morbidities. Through case studies, discussions, and evidence-based research, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the implications for treatment, prevention, and support services tailored to the needs of older adults.
