ACRIA and Amida Care To Co-host White House ONAP Listening Sessions

ACRIA and Amida Care will cohost two “A Dialogue for Life” forums led by Douglas Brooks, the Director of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy. They offer an opportunity to learn more about the efforts of AIDS organizations, consumers, and advocates to advance the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, increase access to care under the Affordable Care Act, and to address Ryan White and HOPWA funding needs.

These forums are open to the public in order to engage as many consumers, providers, and adovcates as possible about the innovations, successes and challenges faced in the fight against HIV in New York.

The first session will be held in Upper Manhattan and will focus on how these matters afect NYC, particularly Harlem, Washington Heights, and the South Bronx. The second will be held in central Brooklyn, focused on Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.

ACRIA Sponsors IAC Satellite on Global HIV and Aging

SUSA20:  15 by 15 and the End of AIDS: Now What? 

Venue: Room 104, Time: 20.07.2014, 11:15 - 13:15

Organizers: ACRIA, MAC AIDS Fund, The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation and The Graying of AIDS

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed HIV disease into a chronic, albeit serious, illness. Most with HIV can now live near-normal life spans and AIDS-related complications are rare. The end of AIDS is in sight, but caring for 50 million people with HIV will become paramount. The success of ART is often marred by co-occurring conditions. Many aging with HIV develop multiple chronic illnesses usually associated with very old age; the challenge is to create a long-term, chronic health care system. In developing countries, the fragile medical and social services infrastructure cannot respond to the growing number of older adults with HIV. In developed countries, systems often fail to maintain care engagement and treatment adherence, contributing to morbidity and increasing demands on already strained health and human services. A coordinated response from the UN, governments, NGOs, and communities is needed to ensure that those aging with HIV receive needed care and support.
