What education and training resources on HIV counseling and testing are available?
Resources for education and training on HIV counseling and testing are available from CDC-funded HIV/AIDS programs in each state health department, and from the National Network of STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers. Additionally, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has regional AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs) and other local performance sites that can provide training in HIV counseling and testing to TB staff. Also available is a Contact Investigation and Management Protocol to facilitate HIV counseling, testing, and referral during TB contact investigations. The protocol was developed by the New York City Bureau of TB Control, in collaboration with the New York City Department of Health HIV Training Institute, with funding from CDC.
