HIV, TB and Viral Hepatitis Training
Presenter: Keneisha M. Whittington-Pressley, MPH
Description:
Participants of this three-hour training will be provided information on viral hepatitis transmission, prevention, symptoms, testing, and available curative treatments. In addition, a thorough discussion will take place of ways in which substance use (both past and present) can facilitate disease transmission and disease progression (i.e. cirrhosis, liver cancer). Participants will learn how CDC testing and treatment guidelines can best be integrated into existing programs. The goals are to educate SUD staff on the fundamentals of hepatitis C and to empower them to implement viral hepatitis prevention and testing integration strategies into their existing programs.
