HIV
Outreach Education/Testing Information and Request Thank you for your interest in Hamilton County Health Department HIV Education and Prevention. Here is some information you will need about our programs, as well as a request form so we can better coordinate the services you desire. Our HIV Education programs require a minimum of 30
minutes and can last a maximum of about two hours. The content of HIV Education programs includes, but is not
limited to: what HIV and AIDS stand for and the difference between the
two; how HIV is and is not contracted; how people can protect themselves
from contracting HIV (both abstinence and condoms are discussed); and
where testing is available. Participants
are encouraged to ask questions both during and after the programs.
In addition to HIV Education, we can also provide free,
confidential (not anonymous) HIV testing onsite.
HIV Testing includes pretest counseling, the HIV blood test, and the
individual’s option of calling our department to receive their results
by telephone. We can also
provide literature on HIV prevention, testing and statistics if
requested. Because we discuss sexuality in a very frank manner in HIV
Education, our programs are most appropriate for audiences over the age
of 13. If your audience will include minors of any age, we suggest
that notice be given by your agency to parents that their children will
receive HIV education. If
you have a large group of minors (more than 20), we request a
responsible adult from your agency be present for supervision. We gear our programs so they are flexible and
appropriate for a wide variety of groups.
However, if your group or agency has particular needs, please
feel free to call and we can discuss how to best accommodate their
needs. To receive HIV Educational programming for your group, please
fill out the following and fax to 423/209-8288.
One of our team members will fax back with their signature to
confirm the appointment. Please
call 423/209-8272 with any questions you have for an HIV Outreach Staff
member. Thank you again for
your interest in our services. NAME
