Fundamentals of HIV Prevention Counseling
Purpose: This two day workshop has been designed to improve the ability of providers in a variety of settings to support individuals in making behavior changes that will reduce their risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV. It is based on a CDC developed curriculum.

• Define client centered HIV prevention counseling
• Describe factors that affect a client’s behavior
