    After the TestExploring the essential role of AHF’s testing counselorsGUEST BIOS:Steven Holmes is an HIV testing counselor for AHF based in New York City.Randy Hubing is also an HIV testing counselor with 14 years of experience at AHF.CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[1:44] - More than TestingThe vital role of HIV testing counselorsWhat does an HIV testing counselor do? It’s more than just getting a “positive” or “negative.” HIV testing counselors also encourage people to improve their sexual health and habits, make safer choices, and understand the history and context of HIV — particularly in the gay community.Testing counselors also help those with positive results navigate into the next step — helping them feel comfortable, cared for, and prepared for what comes next both in their lives and in their relationship with AHF as a patient. [8:54] - Connections and InvitationsMeeting people and getting them testedHow do our counselors connect with individuals and encourage them to get tested? It starts with the confidence to speak openly with people from all different backgrounds — “Hi, my name is Randy, and we’re going to have about 20 minutes of conversation about sex.”That level of comfort doesn’t come easy. It’s cultivated and mastered over time by our expert counselors. After all, that willingness to connect with individuals about sometimes taboo topics could save a life.[14:14] - Why Testing MattersHonoring history by refusing to repeat itSteven and Randy recall the early 80s, when so little was known about HIV that it was being referred to as “gay cancer.” Back then, things like testing, counseling, and organizations such as AHF were nonexistent. Today, all those resources exist — and it’s in patients’ best interest to take advantage of them. Not only does early testing lead to better outcomes, but from the viewpoint of older activists like Randy who can list loved ones who suffered and died in those early, ignorant days, it’s an act of tribute to those who didn’t have an option to test or receive support.[19:13] - Testing Positive: What to ExpectWhat happens when a patient receives that difficult news?Randy and Steven walk us through what it looks like for a patient who tests positive.First, it’s important that they understand the initial “one-line-or-two” test is a screening test, not a diagnosis. In all likelihood, a positive result means they have the virus — but not always. Additional testing, such as a blood test, is required for a confirmed diagnosis.That said, linkage between the patient and AHF begins immediately. They’ll receive support, contact information, and all the info they need to feel informed and empowered about their potential diagnosis. In many cases, they’ll even have the opportunity to start on medications before that confirmation test comes back.The sooner you start medication, the sooner you become what’s known as undetectable — that means the virus is present in such small quantities in your body that it’s not actively affecting the immune system and is significantly less likely to be passed along to someone else.RESOURCES:[0:01] Find a Provider Through AHFFOLLOW:Follow Lauren Hogan: LinkedInFollow AHFter Hours: InstagramABOUT AFTER HOURS:AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the world’s largest HIV/AIDS service organization, operating in 45 countries globally.

  • We The People
    2023/06/19
    We The PeopleAbout our campaign and coalition to bring back true American libertyGUEST BIO:Ebonni Chrispin is the Director of Legislative Affairs and Community Engagement for HF Self and Healthy Housing Foundation.CJ Staples is the national organizer for Dream Defenders.Abby Langweiler is a volunteer with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[2:29] - What is We the People?Multiple causes, one unifying missionSpearheaded by AHF, We the People is a coalition of over 40 organizations covering a wide range of social justice causes — from reducing gun violence to serving marginalized communities. Together, we hope to create one, unified voice in defense of the real American dream — an America that’s safe, equitable, and just for all people. We the People will culminate in a July March located in Florida.[11:56] - Fighting Against FearTurning distrust into communityAt the core of We the People is a fight against policies in Florida and elsewhere that encourage people to distrust, fear, and even physically harm each other. When any person can possess a firearm — and when hateful speech towards marginalized communities is at a fever pitch — neighbors feel they can’t trust one another. We the People is about telling the establishment that there is a better way, and that individual citizens will stand together to bring it to fruition. After all, there’s more that unites us than divides us.[17:28] - Keeping Hope through HeartacheDespite setbacks, hope for a better world enduresOur hosts and guests offer a timely reminder that there’s no place for pessimism or hopelessness in We the People. Even as the world seems to move backwards, there are glimmers of hope — such as the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Alabama’s Black voters rights — that remind us change is possible when people stand together with one voice and demand justice.Meanwhile, Abby reminds us that even though the news may suggest otherwise, the majority of Americans do in fact support things like background checks on gun sales and other laws to promote safety and fairness. We’re not as divided as the news and some politicians would have us believe.[25:15] - What If You Can’t March?You can still make your voice heardCan’t make the We the People march on July 2nd in Fort Lauderdale? You can still make an impact. There will be sister marches taking place in South Carolina, Chicago, New York, LA, and Houston. Details are available at https://wtpmarch.org. You can also follow along online @WTPmarch on Instagram and TikTok.Finally, the coalition will continue to thrive after the march is finished, working to register voters, send mail-in ballots, and more.RESOURCES:[1:24] Healthy Housing Foundation[1:36]Dream Defenders[1:45]Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America[1:57] We the People March[18:00] About Alabama’s Voting Rights Act[31:31] We The People InstagramFOLLOW:Follow Lauren Hogan: LinkedInFollow AHFter Hours: InstagramABOUT AFTER HOURS:AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the world’s largest HIV/AIDS service organization, operating in 45 countries globally.

  • HIV and Primary Care
    2023/05/22
    HIV and Primary CareDiscussing some of the core tenets of AHFGUEST BIO:Dr. Michael Wohlfeiler was formerly AHF’s chief medical officer for over a decade, and now serves in an advisory role with AHF and the Department of Medicine.Dr. Carl Millner is the current chief medical officer at AHF.Rigness Rush is director of branding for AHF.CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[2:28] - What Does It Mean to be an HIV Primary Care Physician?Going beyond treating the diseaseHIV primary care physicians are primary care providers with special expertise in managing HIV. All providers at AHF must have competency in HIV medicine and primary care, because the reality is that it doesn’t make sense to only address HIV without caring for the whole patient. This is especially true considering HIV raises the risk of other co-morbid conditions, such as high cholesterol and increased risk of heart disease or diabetes. This approach truly saves and transforms lives — just as it transformed Rig’s, who came to AHF as a patient in 2014 and was so inspired by its care that they’re now a director in the organization. [8:08] - What Makes an AHF Clinic Different?Unique needs require unique careAHF offers what we call “wraparound services.” It’s not just about coming in, seeing a provider, and receiving a prescription. It also includes meeting with case managers, benefits counselors, nurses, and more. And while primary care is the goal, it’s all centered around the needs of someone living with HIV. Meanwhile, every person at every clinic is there because they have a true passion for taking care of this unique patient population. AHF is a mission-driven organization, and our clinics are equally mission-driven.[11:59] - Authenticity and IntimacyRigness speaks on the look and feel of AHF clinicsRig speaks on how an individual living with HIV enters each clinic with a great deal of physical, mental, and emotional factors. That should all be taken into account with the way that patient is received and the experience they have at the clinic. He calls that approach “honest care,” which relies on a sense of authenticity which leads to better retention by engaging the person, not the problem.[13:47] - Why AHF?Why should a patient choose AHF when there are other organizations serving this community?While many other organizations are doing amazing work in the HIV community, Dr. Carl shares that he feels what makes AHF different is the special level of care patients receive at our clinics. “You feel embraced from the beginning to the end of the process…Counselors are warm and receptive, the care management team is helpful.” He also cites AHF pharmacies as one of the distinct factors that sets AHF apart.[20:25] - Ending on AdvocacyThe missing piece that ties it all togetherDr. Carl emphasizes an earlier point from Rig about another overarching mission at AHF: advocacy. Without the entire organization, and every individual in it, advocating for people with HIV and in the community, AHF’s mission is missing the glue that holds it all together. AHF events, like the We the People march in Florida on July 2nd which will take on LGBTQ rights, abortion, and other human rights violations in the state, are absolutely central to AHF’s values.RESOURCES:[13:47] AHF Healthcare Centers[20:25]  We the People MarchFOLLOW:Follow Lauren Hogan: LinkedInFollow AHFter Hours: InstagramABOUT AFTER HOURS:AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the world’s largest HIV/AIDS service organization, operating in 45 countries globally.
