The Intersection of Mental Health and HIV Among Youth

People with HIV (PWH) – especially children, adolescents, and young adults – are at an increased risk for developing mental health disorders compared to those who don’t have HIV. PWH commonly internalize negative attitudes and beliefs resulting from widespread HIV stigma, which leads to poor mental health outcomes and difficulty medically managing HIV. Challenges with mental health can negatively affect engagement in medical care and adherence to medical treatment.

This webinar will increase the audience’s understanding of mental health challenges among children, adolescents, and young adults with HIV. The webinar will provide strategies for addressing particular needs and promoting overall physical and mental health.
