The Utah Department of
Health, in collaboration with the Denver STD/HIV Prevention Center and the Utah
AIDS Education & Training Center would like to invite you to
participate in a special training focused on incorporating HIV prevention into
the medical care of persons living with HIV.
The training is Ask, Screen, Intervene
(ASI)- Effective Prevention in HIV Care.
Clinicians: ASI is a skills-based course intended for
Physicians, Nurses, Advanced Practice Nurses, Physicians Assistants, and others
currently involved in HIV clinical care or who see HIV+ patients in their
practice.
To register
Non-clinical
staff: A shorter version
of the training will be offered in the afternoon for non-medical
providers, such as case managers and other non-clinical staff involved in HIV
care or who see HIV+ patients in their practice.
To register
Case managers,
4/12/2012, 1:00-3:45pm: http://denverptc.org/class_information.html?id=617
The ASI training will be
held on April 12, at the University of Utah Guest House & Conference Center
(Alpine Room), 110 S Fort Douglas Blvd in Salt Lake City. There is no cost for
this training, a continental breakfast will be provided and continuing
education certificates are available upon completion.
What is Ask, Screen,
Intervene (ASI): ASI is a course
developed by the National Network of Prevention Training Centers and the AIDS
Education & Training Centers that focuses on incorporating HIV prevention
into the medical care of persons living with HIV. The 3-module curriculum
focuses on: 1.) helping providers understand why HIV prevention should be a
routine part of HIV care; 2.) building their skills to assess a patient’s level
of risk and readiness to change/adapt risk reduction strategies; 3.) utilize
referrals and partner services. I like to describe it as motivational
interviewing with an HIV care focus.
We hope you can join us. If
you have any questions let me know or feel free to contact Katie Amaya at
303-602-3637 or katie.Amaya@dhha.org
