About the event

A syndemic is a set of linked health problems involving two or more conditions, interacting synergistically, and contributing to excess burden of disease in a population. People living with HIV are not only impacted by HIV. Common among people living with HIV are mental health issues such as depression and substance use and other physical health issues. The latter can be related to HIV, such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, or unrelated, such as diabetes. Practitioners need the knowledge and clinical skills to provide a holistic approach to treating their patients with multiple syndemic conditions. Examining physical and social contexts will help clinicians understand how syndemics adversely affect HIV risk in vulnerable populations and how interventions can best be deployed to mitigate these risks. By broadening their understanding of HIV from a single epidemic to a component of wider syndemics, this program will help clinicians reach those historically left behind.
