Cultural Competency: HIV/AIDS 101 for the Legal Aid Attorney
People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHIVA) face unique vulnerabilities even as the virus has become manageable as a chronic illness. This MCLE provides attendees with:
- A historical understanding of the particular trauma associated with this multiply marginalized community,
- Culturally appropriate and trauma informed language to help obtain sensitive information during an intake process,
- A nonjudgmental space to ask questions of a person with lived experience, and
- Valuable resources available specifically for PLWHIVA.
