Course Description:
People living with HIV have many needs besides their HIV-related medical care. For many individuals, these other needs come first before their engagement in care and adherence to medication. This training will showcase some of the programs that case managers are likely to come into contact with. Information provided will include information around eligibility and how to access these resources.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs states that there are basic psychological needs that people need such as food, housing etc. These needs are usually a top priority for people before they take care of secondary needs. In this case those needs must be met before individuals are able to effectively engage in HIV medical care. Additionally when looking at reasons why people stop engaging in care, many of them would fall into that base level. Some, if not many, of these can be met by using the various programs that are available to those living with HIV.
