Stigma has been a major obstacle in combating HIV since the beginning of the epidemic. The communities in the United States disproportionately impacted by HIV are those historically impacted by other types of stigma based on factors such as race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and socio-economic status.
A comprehensive response to stigma is needed in order to impact current health disparities and improve engagement at all levels of HIV treatment and care.
This course examines the sources and repercussions of stigma. It focuses on changes providers can make to respond to the impact that stigma has on risk, prevalence, and access to services.
This training is appropriate for any providers working in HIV prevention or treatment.

Men who have sex with men remain the largest population impacted by HIV in the United States. Disparities in infection rates, as well as access to treatment persist, particularly among men of color.
This course highlights cultural competency as a foundational skill when working with gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. The training enhances providers’ ability to recognize the impact of social factors, such as homophobia, racism, and stigma, on HIV risk. It explores issues of sexual health and spirituality and introduces a holistic wellness model to engage and support men who have sex with men.
The course is appropriate for any organization or provider working with men who have sex with men.

Social determinants of health are important factors to address in HIV prevention, treatment, and care programs. These determinants, such as racism, homophobia, lack of education, poverty and inadequate housing contribute to the vast HIV infection disparities in the United States. Structural interventions (SIs) can influence social determinants by increasing availability, accessibility and/or acceptability of HIV resources and services. They can also provide effective mechanisms for organizational change.
This two-day course uses didactic and interactive exercises to apply SI concepts to HIV prevention, treatment, and care programs. Focusing on the HIV Prevention in Care Continuum, participants will use a specialized logic model to develop a plan for implementing a structural intervention in their work setting.

High rates of HIV infection among men who have sex with men and trans women of color are less likely the result of individual risk behaviors and more likely linked to structural inequalities such as homophobia, transphobia, racism, and poverty.
This training focuses specifically on the impact that homophobia and transphobia have on the provision of prevention and care services as well as on health outcomes. Topics include understanding LGBT history, examining root causes, understanding heterosexual privilege, and the effects of layered stigma. We will work to develop strategies to create more inclusive systems at an organizational level.
This training is appropriate for any organization working with or concerned about the LGBT community.
