Education

Being Alive believes that in order for a person to take charge of his/her medical care, he/she must have access to current medical information and access to services. We accomplish these goals with a myriad of education programs including our treatment-based Newsletter, our monthly Medical Update series, our resource-rich website, and our Speakers’ Bureau. For more information about our Speakers Bureau please contact Colin Hadlow at 310.739.6504.

The Newsletter is published eight times per year with original and reprinted articles generated from the community, our membership, and treating physicians and other health professionals. With a worldwide readership of over 12,000 people, the Newsletter provides vital information to a regular audience. The Being Alive website pulls together the best available web-based information that effects people living with HIV/AIDS. Medical Updates offer presentations of cutting edge treatment information from community doctors on a range of HIV-related issues such as Management of Medication Side Effects, HIV/AIDS & Methamphetamines, and HIV/AIDS & Hepatitis C Co-infection and so much more. Finally, the Being Alive Speakers Bureau educates thousands of local working professionals and school-aged young people about the experience of living with HIV/AIDS, the benefits of getting tested for HIV infection and knowing your HIV status, and the importance of prevention. For more information on these programs, call Kevin at 310.289.2551.
