Webinar on HIV & Mental Health 2021

Good mental health is a key component of health-related quality of life in persons living with HIV. The live webinar on May 19th (18:00 - 21:00) ‘HIV & Mental Health 2021’ follows after the successful HIV and mental health conference organized in 2018. 

During the ‘HIV & Mental Health 2021’ live webinar we will discuss the progress that has been made in the HIV mental health care path and the stepped care path that has been developed. Furthermore in this webinar, one important quality of life domain in HIV will be addressed: stigma. 

After an interactive evening, recommendations will be defined on how to improve the integrated mental healthcare for persons living with HIV in the coming years.
