In honor of #WorldAIDSDay, GCOA will be joining #HealthHIV for a LIVE Chat tomorrow, December 1st at 1:00pm EST. Follow along and participate in the chat by using this hashtag: #WADChat2023

#WorldAIDSDay recognizes the substantial progress we have made toward HIV/AIDS. Now, it is a condition you can grow old with – but we must continue to raise awareness/support innovation as the Alliance for Health Innovation is doing in advancing health equity. #WADChat2023

GCOA is committed to advancing health equity and innovation. Both are key facets of the HIV response – as is meaningful engagement with those affected by HIV/AIDS. Read our policy brief on healthy aging and equity here: bit.ly/49YuUB6 #WorldAIDSDay #WADChat2023

Over half those living with HIV are 50+, thanks to innovative treatments and fewer new infections. Clinicians must address the unique challenges of this population due to elevated health risks for certain conditions & stigma for seeking care. #WADChat2023 bit.ly/3t2JNBC

Stigma affects quality of life, self-image, & may prevent those with HIV/AIDS from seeking care, including HIV treatments to become undetectable & untransmissible. Reducing stigma is critical to health, happiness, & preventing new infections. #WADChat2023 bit.ly/4a3drYq

A neutral approach from providers allows higher quality and affirming healthcare, fostering increased health equity and accessibility to HIV services. This approach combines service delivery, making it easier for those seeking care. #WADChat2023 bit.ly/4a3drYq

Community members can #StopHIVTogether by making efforts to reduce stigma through open and meaningful conversation. Internalized stigma can affect those with HIV and members of the community can combat this by correcting stereotypes and supporting health equity. #WADChat2023

At the start of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, life expectancy was 1-2 years post diagnosis. Now, people with HIV/AIDS live long, full lives thanks to innovative treatments. In the next 35 years, we hope to see stigma decline, more novel treatments, and ultimately a cure. #WADChat2023
