Description: An estimated one-half million people are living with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the U.S. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which is one of the deadliest viruses in human history. There is no cure for HIV or AIDS but there are medications available that slow down the process. The goal of this in-service is to provide an understanding of the disease and how it is spread, how the disease affects the body and comfort measures to assist the client.

Convenience: Enjoy the convenience and cost-efficiency of a telephone workshop. There is no travel time involved and no limit to the number of attendees from your agency who may participate at your site through one phone line. All you need to participate is a speaker telephone and a room large enough for your staff. It is a controlled, radio-like environment where you will gather your staff, dial an 800 number, state your verbal password, and you’re connected. You will also be able to participate in a Q&A portion. The teleconference will take place from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. EST., 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. CST.
