APLA Health launched HIVE (HIV-Elders), tailored for men who have sex with men (MSM) of all ethnicities who are 50 years of age and older and living with HIV.
HIVE is designed to improve the health and well-being of this growing population of men by addressing stigma, social isolation, social support, connection and empowerment.
Check out our monthly calendar below for daily fun activities, like bingo and trivia games, as well as group hikes, special guests, bowling nights, harbor cruises and movies under the stars.
Social support groups provide spaces for safe conversation, building friendships, and emotional support.
Life Skills Support
We provide skills for daily living to enhance quality of life, like taking care of one’s healthcare needs while managing Medicare and personal finances.
Health Education
Our health education program focuses on the issues that affect older men the most, like managing chronic medical conditions and the multiple medications used to treat them.
Community Building
We sponsor group activities to foster community among people living with HIV and help them become flexible, resilient, and confident in their abilities. This also increases their visibility in other communities and spreads awareness of their presence and importance.
