HIV/AIDS:
Understanding Risk, Prevention, Symptoms, Interventions and Resources in Work
with System Involved Youth and Families- 7 CE Credits
According to the CDC, in 2018 21% of new HIV diagnoses in
the US and dependent areas were among youth. In order to help prevent HIV
infection in system involved youth, providers need to understand risk factors,
prevention strategies and how to teach this information to their clients.
Providers need to understand the psychosocial issues and how to support HIV+
system involved youth and their families. In this class we will focus on
prevention, signs and symptoms, testing, stages of infection, legal issues, social
and cultural issues, preparing youth for loss of a parent from HIV, mental
health issues and resources. This course meets the pre-licensure requirements
