Wilcox and Daria Boccher-Lattimore Wed, 21 Sep 2011 20:32:44 +0000 http://blog.aids.gov/?p=3897#comment-25022 The National Alliance for HIV Education and Workforce Development (NAHEWD), a membership organization of the 11 HRSA-funded Regional AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) and 3 National Centers, applauds the efforts of DHHS in convening this PLWH informational panel. We appreciate the comments and insights of the participants and acknowledge the challenges that face us regarding stigma, discrimination and training of health care providers. The AETCs as providers of the latest on HIV clinical education are working daily to educate health care professionals throughout the country on stigma, discrimination and the resulting implications for health outcomes. We are also working to educate non HIV specialists on HIV and recognizing comorbidities of the HIV positive person. Our goal is to help providers deliver the best possible care in a culturally responsive manner to PLWH by partnering with academic medical centers, state and local health departments, and community based provider teams. For further discussion and a full response of the AETC efforts, please visit the NAHEWD website: www.nahewd.org.
Further information on the AETC Network, and contact info for the AETCs in your area, can be found on the AETC National Resource Center website: www.aids-ed.org

There so many differances on all fronts. Everyone seems to have an opinion and truly that is fine. But it helps nothing. Until we can see beyond our own ignorances nothing is going to change. Much prayer is needed for this wicked place we call earth. God is not pleased with alot of things. We must humble ourselves as a Nation.
