HIV/AIDS:
Understanding Risk, Prevention, Symptoms, Interventions and Resources in Work
with System Involved Youth and Families- 7 CAMFT & RN CE Credits
Training
Summary:
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 for HIV/AIDS 7

Sciences.
