Do you have a client with HIV? Or don’t have one but wish to increase your knowledge about what the issues are for older people with HIV in aged care. Hear from a panel of HIV specialists such as a hospital clinician, nurse, community support worker, aged care advocate and an older person with HIV who accesses home based care. Learn about HIV transmission, HIV treatments, the lived experience of living with HIV and much more. This panel in partnership with Living Positive Victoria, Thorne Harbour Health and Elder Rights Advocacy discusses a hypothetical case, where 'Jimmy' an older person living with HIV in an aged care facility, asks questions about the care he is receiving.

Taking Charge - Ian & Bruce

Bruce Macallister tells us what it was like for him to be diagnosed with HIV. Accessing healthcare that is free of HIV related is critical for him as it is for everyone else with HIV. He describes how it can be made to be that way. Bruce is a sociable person and recognises the importance of adding to his quality of life as he get's older by connecting with his peers. As a result, he is a keen attendee of Living Positive Victoria's Taking Charge project 'Peer Support Network's' gatherings where he catches up with friends whether it be over a picnic, museum and art gallery visits or mini golf. He is also eager to tell us about the best thing in being an older person and has some great advice for other older people on how to make the best of their years to come.

Ian Hulett is a dad and a granddad. He reflects on how important family is to him and how it has shaped how he deals with his HIV. Much like everyone else with HIV, Ian hopes and expects to be able to access healthcare that is free of HIV related stigma. As an active person that loves fishing, scuba diving, socialising and more, Ian readily talks about what the best thing about being an older person is and how to make the best of the years to come. He not only talks about it but shows us how is doing it. Well Beyond 50 - https://wellbeyond50.lpv.org.au/ Living Positive Victoria - https://lpv.org.au/ 6:20
