Participants will gain insight into emerging trends across the lifespan, including perinatal transmission, pediatric treatment and transition to adult care, aging-related comorbidities, and long-term HIV management. The session will also highlight best practices in age-responsive and family-centered HIV care, along with strategies to support health, stability, and quality of life from childhood through older adulthood.

Beyond the Basics: Introducing the Eight Ps Framework for Inclusive and Effective Sexual History Taking

Traditional sexual history models don’t fully capture today’s realities of mobility, digital connection, and borderless sexual networks. The new Eight Ps Framework builds on prior models by integrating these modern patterns alongside a more person-centered, equity-focused approach to sexual wellbeing. 

This webinar will introduce the framework, explore how it enhances communication, and demonstrate how clinician and public health professionals can apply it to improve care outcomes and trust with diverse populations.

Client-Centered PrEP Conversations: Using a Sexual History Framework to Guide Shared Decision-Making

Effective conversations about PrEP require more than discussing medication options – it involves building trust, understanding clients’ sexual health goals, and engaging in true shared decision making. This webinar guides the use of a structured sexual history taking framework to support providers, navigators, and CHWs in partnering with clients to determine whether PrEP is right for them and, if so, which modality best fits their lifestyle, preferences, and needs.

Participants will explore how creating a stigma-free environment during these collaborative conversations can elicit meaningful sexual health information to inform considerations such as adherence, access, privacy, and side effect concerns.
