When it comes to HIV, many advocates will agree that education is of the utmost importance, especially basic education about how the virus is transmitted and how people can protect themselves. But what about questions that HIV poses as a larger phenomenon?

HIV in the Classroom is a series of articles that highlights educators and activists who are working with college-age (and younger!) students to illuminate the many aspects of life and society on which HIV has an impact -- politics, history, society, the arts, religion and more.

TheBody.com will be hosting its first TwitterChat on Thursday, March 28th from 6pm - 7pm EST (3pm - 4pm PST). The theme of the chat, which will use the hashtag #BodyChat, will be HIV & Education. Get ready to discuss different questions put out by TheBody pertaining to how HIV should be taught in schools.

When we talk about the health of people living with HIV, we usually focus on the physical: CD4 count, viral load, antiretroviral treatment, side effects, coinfections and so on. In a normal doctor's visit, mental health is usually not addressed. Don't you think it's time that changed?

Join Francine Cournos, M.D., and David Fawcett, Ph.D., LCSW, as they explore why mental health is so often ignored in HIV care, why that ignorance is so dangerous, and what simple steps providers can take to improve the situation.
