Getting Comfortable Having Conversations about HIV Risk & Risk Reduction

This training focuses on building participants’ comfort with speaking to shelter guests about HIV risk and risk reduction. The training provides a basic review of HIV risk and risk reduction, while offering participants hands-on techniques for starting and engaging in ongoing conversations. Participants also learn how these conversations support an individual's interest in making changes to reduce her/his HIV risk(s).
