The goal of the Ryan White Program (RW) Care Services is to provide patient centered services to individuals living with HIV, link them to the health care services they need, and ensure they remain in care. The RW team includes providers, clinic nurses and medical assistants, RW Eligibility Workers, Nurse Case Managers, a Social Worker, and Community Health Workers.
WHAT IS HIV? HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus and it weakens the body’s immune system (your defense against infections). It is the virus that causes AIDS. The virus may be passed from one person to another when infected blood, semen or vaginal secretions come in contact with an uninfected person’s broken skin or mucous membranes. (A mucous membrane is wet, thin tissue found in certain openings to the human body, including the mouth, eyes, nose, vagina, rectum, and the opening of the penis.)
The Empower Change Testing & Counseling Training Program for Rapid HIV Testing Certification Course is a free, face to face training course which will prepare participants, both experienced and new, with the skills, techniques, and knowledge to offer rapid HIV testing and counseling services within community-based organizations. Prior to the in-person part of class, online materials must be completed, and a knowledge assessment must be passed with at least a 70% to proceed.
