Description

Welcome to the eLearning module Normalise HIV Testing in your practice.

This module explores how health workers can identify opportunities to offer HIV testing in a non-traditional setting. The module also explores strategies that reduce the risk of acquiring or passing on STI and HIV. It also looks at ways a health worker can offer support to help improve a person's health outcomes. Each of these in turn will improve health outcomes for the community.

A certificate is issued on completion.
