Fundamentals of Rapid HIV Testing
Rapid HIV Testing is a critical strategy for Ending the HIV Epidemic. This five module, 60-minute course is a foundational training for rapid HIV testing staff working in nonclinical community-based settings such as health departments, community-based organizations, and other nonclinical HIV testing sites.
This course prepares rapid HIV testing staff to conduct the key steps of rapid HIV testing: setting up a workspace, conducting the rapid HIV test, preparing clients for the test and delivering test results, and conducting quality assurance activities. Participants also have opportunities to reflect on how they can use what they’ve learned and apply it to their current work. Learners may save their reflections for the future as they grow their knowledge in the field.
