Description:

This is the second of a three-part webinar series that will provide up-to-date guidance and implementation models for pan-viral testing and linkage to care in college and university health centers, emergency departments (EDs) and urgent care settings. This webinar will be interactive with participant polling, live Q&A, links to additional resources, as well as more information about how you may be able to participate in individualized capacity building and coaching support from HealthHIV to implement pan-viral testing and linkage to care.

Key Topics:

• Importance of EDs and urgent care in meeting impacted populations where they are
• Prevalence of HIV, Hep B, Hep C, and STIs in your community
• Evidence-based care guidance and recommendations for HIV, Hep B, Hep C, and STIs
• Implementation of testing algorithms and test interpretation
• Effective strategies for patient follow-up and linkage to care/treatment

Objectives:

• Implement national guidelines and recommendations for pan-viral (HIV, Hep B, Hep C, and STIs) testing and linkage to care
• Identify innovative pan-viral testing technologies, models and resources, such as self-/at-home testing
• Identify pan-viral linkage to care models to connect patients to care
• Apply testing strategies that enhance health equity for populations disproportionately impacted by HIV, Hep B, Hep C, and STIs
