Knowledge about HIV is important to reduce stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV. We offer training, continuing education and lectures for private individuals and for various professional groups who come into contact with HIV.

Educations

For you who work in healthcare

Can you answer questions about HIV from your patient or a relative?
Are you up to date with the latest? Do you know in which situations you should suggest an HIV test? What treatment does a patient who has HIV or a relative expect?

For you who work in elderly care and home care

The treatment of HIV today is fantastic and means that those who have HIV live as long as the rest of the population. The number of patients and users with HIV who need to use society’s care for the elderly will therefore increase. Do you have the skills required to provide a good reception?

For you who work with children and young people at school or various leisure venues

A full course day with the goal of providing you with pedagogical tools and factual knowledge that facilitate the teaching of sex and cohabitation issues. After the day, you should feel safer talking about HIV and have a greater understanding of the problems surrounding the disease.

For you who work in substance abuse care

For those of you who work in substance abuse care, there is a need to be up to date with the latest on HIV. It is both about treatment and being able to give patients correct information about HIV and other blood-borne diseases and how they are passed on.

For you who work in correctional services

For those of you who work in the criminal justice sector, there is every reason to keep up to date with the latest information on HIV. It is both about treatment and knowledge about how the treatment today effectively contributes to a reduced risk of HIV transmission.

    The course (7.5 points) is aimed at those who have an interest in HIV and global health.
