The CT Statewide Grand Rounds Series, is a high-level, HIV syndemic focused training series aimed at providing the most up-to-date information and education for medical health care team members currently involved in HIV care looking to increase their ability to prevent new HIV infections, identify people with HIV who are undiagnosed or out of care, and link patients not on antiretrovirals to care to achieve viral suppression.
This session, Harm Reduction Strategies & Evidence-Based Treatments for Chemsex Use Disorders, will be presented by Jona Tanguay, MMSc, PA-C, AAHIVS, Medical Program Lead - Substance Use Disorders, Whitman-Walker Health, and Associate Medical Director - Transgender Health, Amida Care.
The presentation's objectives include:
- Contextualize Chemsex and SGD substance use using epidemiology and syndemic theory
- Apply motivational interviewing and harm reduction methodology to support the wellness of people who participate in Chemsex in an anti-paternalistic way
- Translate clinical research on treatments for Chemsex substances into therapeutic prescribing practices
All sessions provided in the CT Statewide Grand Round Series are CME-accredited. For more information, please reach out Dante Gennaro, Program Director of the NEAETC's Connecticut Local Partner site at Yale University.
