Addressing the Intersection of Domestic Violence and HIV

Webinar Information:

Live Webinar on October 21, 2022 at 10 am PST. Recording to follow. 

Survivors of domestic violence living with HIV have a unique set of needs when accessing services that cannot be addressed by domestic violence or HIV organizations alone. This webinar will go over beliefs and attitudes about both HIV and Domestic Violence, and work to dismantle the stigma surrounding both.     

The Health Equity Webinar Series is a free online webinar series designed to showcase dynamic work being accomplished to enhance health equity opportunities. This series discusses different innovative implementations, strategies, best practices, success stories, and experiences impacting health equity in communities served with public health professionals around the nation.
