‎The HIV Pre and Post Test Discussion Workshop has been designed for health care providers who will be providing HIV testing to clients. This 1 day workshop includes opportunities for discussion, networking and practice. Participants will receive a certificate of completion. Priority seating will be given to participants who plan to be offering HIV testing in their communities at completion of the workshop.

This half day workshop is designed for health care providers who provide HIV testing or who assist with the notification and counselling of partners. The workshop provides time to discuss effective, non-coercive techniques which can support clients to voluntarily identify sexual and injection drug-use partners who might benefit from testing.

Participants will have opportunity to practice skills in a non-threatening, supportive atmosphere. Commitment to full time participation is requested as the program is designed to progress in incremental steps.

Partner counselling as presented in the PCRS course compliments the existing guidelines for HIV antibody testing. As a pre-requisite for this course, participants should have either attended a Pre and Post Test Workshop or have experience talking with clients about HIV testing.
