How will CDC support the implementation of the HIV/STD partner services recommendations?
A. CDC is currently developing a number of new products and strategies to assist jurisdictions with implementing the recommendations. Training is a key element of the implementation strategy. CDC is working with the HIV/STD Prevention Training Centers to revise the current STD and HIV partner services training materials to create integrated training for partner services. CDC anticipates incorporating a variety of teaching methodologies into the materials: some materials may involve computer technology, such as e-learning, while other materials may involve instructor-led sessions. CDC also plans to offer a series of train-the-trainer sessions in addition to other technical assistance to local instructors. Finally, CDC intends to cross-train DSTDP and DHAP instructors in the materials so that both Divisions can work effectively with local programs. CDC may also develop or revise other training products based on grantee needs.
