SUMMARY:The Future is Gray and Gay: Building Inclusive HIV Systems for LGBTQ+ Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:As the population of people living with HIV (PLWH) ages\, healthcare systems must evolve to meet the complex needs of older adults\, particularly those who identify as LGBTQ+. Over half of PLWH in the U.S. are now aged 50 or older\, many of whom face not only physical health challenges but also the compounded effects of stigma\, isolation\, and discrimination. Holy Cross Health in Broward County\, Florida\, has developed a comprehensive\, community-embedded care model that integrates HIV treatment with aging services\, behavioral health\, and chronic disease management. This peer- and community health worker–led\, equity-focused approach is designed to address disparities among LGBTQ+ individuals\, people of color\, and those experiencing economic hardship. The model emphasizes cultural humility\, trauma-informed care\, and whole-person wellness. This session will explore how this integrated framework improves outcomes and offers a scalable solution for reimagining HIV care for aging LGBTQ+ populations.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Clinic: How Holy Cross Health is Transforming LGBTQ+ Health Through Outreach and Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Holy Cross Health in Fort Lauderdale\, Florida\, is advancing health equity through a comprehensive\, community-based approach to HIV prevention and care\, STI and Hepatitis C screening\, and LGBTQ+ health. Broward County remains one of the nation’s HIV epicenters\, with 579 new diagnoses in 2022\, far exceeding the national average. Despite this\, 96.2 percent of people living with HIV in the county know their status\, and 80.8 percent are linked to care within one month. Holy Cross Health’s initiatives\, such as community outreach\, HIV self-testing\, and culturally competent education\, are designed to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals who are disproportionately affected by these conditions. The program is led by community advocates and LGBTQ+ healthcare professionals who step beyond traditional clinical roles to engage directly with the community. This session will explore the program’s design\, implementation\, and measurable impact\, offering a replicable model for other health systems.

SUMMARY:Disco to Tech: Interracial Encounters\, Intergenerational Desire\, and the Disclosure Dilemma
DESCRIPTION:What happens when wisdom meets innovation\, and lived experience meets digital fluency? This dynamic\, intergenerational and interracial session explores how people across decades and racial identities navigate dating\, disclosure\, and desire in the age of PrEP\, U=U\, and mobile technology. \nParticipants will explore the unique dynamics of intergenerational and interracial relationships in LGBTQ+ communities\, where age and racial identity often intersect with stigma\, communication gaps\, and digital literacy. The session will highlight how dating apps\, and digital platforms can be used to foster safer sex\, reduce stigma\, and promote pleasure-centered sexual health for all. \nUnlike traditional workshops\, this session brings together two generations of lived experience to co-lead a dialogue that spans decades and devices.
