The Care Plan Presents: HIV & Aging Panel with performance by Chicago Gay Men’s Chorus

March 22, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

The Care Plan Presents: HIV & Aging Panel Jackie Boyd, long time aging specialist and LGBTQI advocate and Founder of The Care Plan, leads this discussion, addressing a generational shift in HIV/AIDS culture. With the continued advances in healthcare treatment and therapy, early detection, and preventative tests for seropositive individuals having grown sharply, life expectancy of HIV+ populations has created the possibility of senior years. How has this shifted our perspective on the history and future of HIV/AIDS? What are the long-term support systems that can be provided to these aging populations? What gains can be made where once there were only losses? Panelists include Roy Ferguson (Veterans Support Group), Thomas Hunter (Chicago House), Kelly Rice (Howard Brown Health), Greg Sanchez, and Brenda Simmons (Chicago Women’s AIDS Project).

Doors @ 6PM / Program @ 6:30 (Late Entry Allowed)
