Webinar: Understanding and Addressing Trauma and Violence in HIV Prevention and Treatment

Date and Time

July 16, 2020

Location

Virtual

Sponsored by:

Center for Global Mental Health Research, NIMH Division of AIDS Research

Exposure to trauma and violence are associated with higher rates of HIV infection, as well as poorer HIV treatment outcomes. To date, there are few evidence-based interventions that address trauma or violence that have been shown to improve either HIV prevention or treatment outcomes. This webinar will focus on different intervention approaches that the speakers have utilized to address this gap in the literature. Presentations will be followed by a moderated discussion and a question and answer session.

Presenters:

  • Laura K. Murray, Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health
  • Conall O'Cleirigh, Ph.D., Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School
  • Linnet Ongeri, MBChB, M.Med (Psych), Kenya Medical Research Institute
  • Susan M. Meffert, M.D., M.P.H., University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine
  • Teri Senn, Ph.D., National Institute of Mental Health
