The effect of public health policies on stigma and innovations in HIV case management nursing Thursday, March 21, 2019 5:00:00 PM Coordinated Universal Time - 6:00:00 PM Coordinated Universal Time
Modern epidemics are commonly conceptualized as wars: “The War on Ebola;” “The War on SARS;” “The War on HIV/AIDS.” The purpose of this webinar is to describe how equating the management of infectious diseases with war shapes public health policies, nursing practices, and the experiences of people living with HIV/AIDS. The presentation will be based on the findings of a critical ethnography undertaken with 22 public health nurses involved in HIV case management across Ontario. We will explore the meaning of engagement in public health policies and practices, the concept of structural stigma, and examine several examples from nurses’ experiences on the frontlines about how more effective partnerships could be formed in public health care to better support people feeling marginalized in the present response to HIV/AIDS.
