Managing Diabetes and HIV in the DMV: An Integrated Approach for Healthcare Providers
This webinar is designed to offer an in-depth exploration of the complex relationship between HIV and diabetes, two chronic conditions that increasingly intersect within patient populations. Designed for healthcare professionals in the DMV (District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia), this one-hour session will provide key insights into preventive strategies and management techniques for patients living with both conditions. This webinar will address the rising prevalence of diabetes among individuals living with HIV and offer practical, region-specific guidance on managing these coexisting conditions. Participants will examine how HIV therapies impact metabolic health and the unique challenges faced by those with both HIV and diabetes. The session will equip participants with actionable knowledge to enhance patient care and outcomes. Additionally, the discussion will cover cultural competency and the challenges faced by vulnerable populations in the DMV, including the impact of social determinants of health and disparities in care, and how to address these disparities for diverse populations affected by both conditions.
