The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) impacts around 110,000 individuals in the UK (Source: nat.org.uk).

While there is no cure for HIV currently, awareness, treatments and early diagnosis enables people with the virus to live a long and healthy life.

Regular HIV training is crucial for healthcare professionals. It helps them stay up to date with the latest HIV treatment improvements, leading to better patient care and increased awareness. The world of HIV treatment is always changing, bringing new ways to improve patients' health. Keeping up with these changes is vital for best practice.

This HIV Awareness E-Learning course equips healthcare professionals with a deep understanding of crucial aspects related to HIV, such as how it is transmitted, preventive strategies, and the importance of providing comprehensive support to individuals living with HIV.
