Using HIV as a case study, the presentation will review factors that promote and challenge adherence from the framework of the HIV Continuum of Care. Participants will engage in on-line discussion of assessment, challenges, and interventions that can help clients link to care, remain in care, reach viral suppression and promote wellness. A holistic practice model will be reviewed as one step towards promoting culturally competent practice with individuals, their family, and within the broader communities affected by HIV or AIDS and other co-occurring chronic illnesses.
