This workshop will provide participants with an overview of the important role routine HIV testing in clinical settings plays in the national HIV/AIDS prevention and care plan. The ACTS (Advise, Consent, Test, Support) system of streamlined counseling and practice change utilizing buy-in, implementation planning, training, and monitoring/evaluation using existing resources will be described. Illustrations of ACTS successes in clinical practice (i.e., clinics, hospitals, and CBOs) in the US and South Africa will be described as models for implementation planning in participants' own settings. The workshop will also feature practical sessions that skill participants in streamlined counseling and routine testing implementation.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to describe four practice change elements that can facilitate implementation of routine HIV testing in clinical settings.
  • Participants will practice delivery of a streamlined HIV counseling protocol that they can use in clinical care.

Participants will be guided through a routine testing implementation process that can be tailored to their own institutions.
