HIV/sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) has announced free, online HIV Awareness Training with added modules.
If you haven’t done this training before, you will need to complete the first three compulsory two-hour modules that make up THT’s normal one day HIV Awareness Training. You are then welcome to add on one or both of the additional modules that focus on specific issues around HIV & Ageing or HIV & Black Communities.
If you have already attended the HIV Awareness Training, either online or in person, then you can book on to do the extra modules in HIV & Ageing or HIV & Black Communities. To do this, just let THT know what training you have previously attended when booking.
The training is free, and will be delivered interactively via Zoom. It is important that you are able to attend all the modules in the correct order to ensure you get all the information.
