Substance Abuse, Aging, and HIV – Online Event for Professionals
July 6, 2021 @ 7:00 pm PDT
In July 6, 2021, Borrego Health presents “Reclaiming Our Lives: Strategies to Address the Challenges of Aging and Substance Misuse Among Persons Living with HIV,” with special speaker Dr. David Fawcett.
A majority of persons living with HIV are now over the age of 50 and, in addition to physiological
consequences of decades spent living with the virus, many now face mental and physical issues of aging complicated by substance misuse. A significant number of long-term survivors have turned to drugs, including methamphetamine, combined with sexual behavior, to numb the pain of cumulative losses, interrupted lives, and complex grief. This workshop examines these issues and provides key strategies to enable PLHIV to fully embrace their unanticipated lives.
