Resource Summary: Participants of this webinar will discuss barriers and interventions that can assist clinicians in meeting the needs of those living with or effected by HIV/AID.

Resource Details: HIV care is changing both in terms of advancements in care and complications in the delivery systems. Meeting the needs of those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS can be difficult for a standing population. Overlay those difficulties with the obstacles created by migration or authorization status and the possibility for confusion increased tremendously. This session will discuss some of the impediments to HIV care. During this session participants will explore the public health history of HIV/AIDS which began with a primary focus on spread of disease to an emphasis on testing, treatment and continuity of care; survey the obstacles created by migration or the legal status of patients and potential solutions to these challenges; investigate the impact of the Affordable Care Act on existing HIV/AIDS services and discuss likely future scenarios for public health and health center systems serving migrant and immigrant HIV patients.
