Adults 50 and over account for 27% of the U.S. population with HIV. The HIV epidemic is graying as a result of advances in treatment, and lack of adequate information directed to older adults. SAGE, in collaboration with the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA), offers a free, first-in-the-nation, HIV training for staff and peer leaders working with older adults, including community centers, health care settings, senior centers, libraries, and other locations. This free, ½ day training will cover: issues of stigma, how to talk to older adults about sex, understanding HIV treatment, & HIV prevention.
