This series welcomes healthcare professionals working in the field of HIV. This is the second training of our 4 part series, which was created in collaboration with the MidAtlantic AETC Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Workgroup. This series will allow participants to develop awareness of special populations and how to use trauma-informed practices to enhance HIV care, treatment, and prevention in underserved, stigmatized populations.
