Application Guidelines
 |
The Combined HIV Prevention Counseling and Rapid Testing Training covers the CDC recommended guidelines for HIV Prevention Counseling and the manufacturer’s instructions for collecting an oral specimen and running the OraQuick rapid HIV test. |
|
The online HIV/AIDS quiz MUST be taken before an applicant will be accepted into training. Applicants who arrive at a training without having taken this quiz will be asked to leave and reschedule for another training. It is not necessary to answer all questions correctly in order to successfully submit an application. |
|
Anyone interested in HIV counseling and testing may apply to attend, but priority for attendance is given to OPH employees and those organizations that the HIV/AIDS Program directly funds for HIV testing. |
|
Admission into this training does not guarantee funding, supplies, or testing site approval. There is a separate process for receiving funds and/or supplies through the Office of Public Health HIV/AIDS Program. |
|
Each training holds a maximum of 18 participants. |
