Expanding the National HIV Prevention Workforce through Certification

HIV Prevention Certified Provider Institute
Expanding the HIV prevention workforce is more important than ever: biomedical prevention is advancing rapidly and the HIV workforce is shrinking.
This institute offers a comprehensive foundation for providers to: 1) identify individuals who may benefit from HIV prevention services; 2) implement high-impact PrEP interventions; and, 3) apply a framework of cultural humility to improve engagement and retention in care. Participants also will learn strategies for HIV prevention, PrEP counseling, and PrEP provision within pharmacy-based settings. Expert faculty include an infectious disease physician and pharmacist, bringing together clinical knowledge and applied strategies for frontline HIV prevention.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss sexual health and HIV prevention options with clients.
- Review biomedical advances in HIV and STI prevention.
- Identify considerations for implementing long-acting HIV prevention in clinical settings.
- Describe eligibility screening and PrEP counseling strategies in pharmacies.
- Educate patients on PrEP adherence, safety precautions, and the importance of regular monitoring for optimal HIV prevention
