ASI: Ask Screen Intervene

(1 day) 6 credit hours

Supported by a CDC grant, this course was developed by the National Network of STD/HIV Prevention Training Centers in collaboration with the AIDS Education Training Centers (AETC) and the AETC National Resource Center. This course is designed for clinical providers who care for HIV+ patients and is based on recommendations from the CDC, HRSA, the NIH, and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. The course can be provided in a modular format, or as single day training.

MODULE 1
As care providers, our response to the changing HIV epidemic must evolve as well. By providing you with the most up-to-date information on the whats, whens, and hows of periodic STD screening and treatment, this session will facilitate your implementation of this effective biomedical approach to HIV prevention and treatment.

MODULE 2
Clinician-delivered prevention messages have been shown time and again to be feasible and effective in reducing patients' risk of transmitting HIV to partners.

MODULE 3
Individual patients require individual attention, and often individualized interventions. In Module Three, you will learn about the creation of such tailored interventions.

MODULE 4
In the U.S., persons living with HIV have access to a service few know about or understand. Partner Services is a voluntary, no-fee health department-administered program that helps HIV-positive individuals disclose their status to their sex or needle-sharing partners. Partner Services has been shown to be effective in identifying previously undiagnosed cases of HIV.
