Mental Health and Living with HIV

Speaker:

Jim Recht, MD - Psychiatry | Red Team + Outreach - Boston Healthcare for the Homeless

Brief Description: This presentation will address the reality that people with HIV have an increased risk of mental health conditions, and that mental health conditions increase the risk of HIV infection. Further, mental health problems are associated with increased risk behaviors and lower engagement with HIV prevention and treatment services. What can we do to stop this vicious cycle? This is the central question that we will attempt to answer.
