The HCV/HIV/STI/Overdose Prevention Skills Certification Training is a five day community-building and learning experience. Throughout the week, learners will engage in rich conversations, share educational moments, participate in interactive activities, observe and perform role plays, and practice hands-on experiences that will provide them with:
- Health information pertinent to supporting clients making informed choices regarding their HCV/HIV/STI prevention/transmission concerns
- Basic counseling skills to assist in creating a therapeutic environment to hear client stories with a new perspective
- Technical skills to prepare to collect blood through a fingerstick and be able to run and interpret results for specific Hep-C and HIV rapid tests
At this time, only site coordinators should be registering learners for this training 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 Todd Watkins at todd.watkins@sfdph.org.
