Upcoming In-Person Training: May 22nd – 26th, 2023

This online course provides the information that forms the foundation for the HIV Counselor Training you will be attending soon. Both trainings build on almost 30 years of experience talking with people about stopping the transmission of HIV.

This online course is separated into reading modules, followed by a 32-question quiz. There is no time limit to complete the reading or quiz. Once you begin the quiz, you may go back to the readings. However, you may only submit your quiz answers once. Your quiz will be scored by a training administrator, and you will receive an email with your score. You need at least 80 percent of correct responses in order to be eligible to sign up for the training. If you do not pass on the first try, you will receive an email notification and then can re-take the quiz one more time after reading the material again.

Learners are not able to self-enroll in the pre-training course at this time. Instead, your site coordinator should have registered you for this program and you should have received an email notification from the SFDPH Center for Learning and Innovation saying you have been enrolled in this course. If you have not yet received this email notification, please reach out to your site coordinator first to ensure they have submitted an application for your registration in this program.

If you are a learner seeking to register yourself in this program and are unsure of who your site coordinator is, or you believe you are at a site without a coordinator, please contact TrainingAcademy@sfaf.org.
