HIV and AIDS: Why Are We Still Talking About It?
Do you think this disease has gone away? Or what is the big deal to be living with HIV and AIDS?
Since 1996 when anti-retroviral Therapy changed the course of AIDS for those infected and affected, many infected have been able to literally get off their death bed and begin to live again. This leads to the question above and the resounding answer is YES
This workshop will examine the major epidemic of the 20th century from two aspects. The first is to examine the historical context from the first 5 diagnoses in 1981 to the year 2000. The second is to examine the world of HIV and AIDS in this century, what role the social worker continues to have with those infected and affected as well as the role that prevention now plays with hopes of ending the epidemic as we know it.
In addition, we will look at the COVID-19 Pandemic and especially those now with long term COVID and the similarities of this and those living with HIV and AIDS.

Understanding of hiv and aids from a historical perspective and the impact on the epidemic then and now.
