PLWH-Centered Leadership - Taking Center Stage: Public Leadership of People Living With HIV
Michelle Lopez Consultant, Senior Sexual Health Initiative, ACRIA
People living with HIV have served in leadership roles since the very beginning of the epidemic. At first, PLWH demanded and eventually achieved the right to meaningful involvement. Over time, PLWH participation has become standard and commonplace. Today, a new era of public leadership has begun, one that asks PLWH to lead the end of the epidemic. This interactive workshop explores how to build on the rich legacy of the past in order to ensure that PLWH are a part of the long journey ahead. Last, participant will generate a call to action for ensuring PLWH lead the development, delivery, and evaluation of HIV prevention and care services in the Ending the Epidemic era.
