Full Course Description
This course provides rehabilitation professionals with an understanding of the transmission and prevention of HIV, the care of persons with HIV, and the issues of living with HIV.  

Goals & Objectives:

Course Goals:

The goal of this basic, introductory course is to provide rehabilitation professionals with an understanding of the transmission and prevention of HIV, the care of persons with HIV, and the issues of living with HIV. Major progress has been made in understanding the many facets of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency disease (HIV/AIDS). Inroads into detection, immune response, and transmission have helped in the development of therapeutic interventions, including four-drug combination therapies. The importance of these drugs and their implication in the health care of HIV patients are discussed in this course. Because of the fast-paced change in HIV knowledge, rehabilitation professionals may not be aware of new advances, current treatments, and interventions. Recent changes in terminology and staging are covered. Legal and ethical issues, including recent changes in testing, confidentiality, and reporting requirements are discussed.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course, the learner will be able to:

  • Describe the basic pathophysiology of HIV.
  • Identify the stages of HIV infection and their associated signs and symptoms.
  • Identify routes of transmission, risk factors, and prevention strategies for HIV.
  • Identify assessment guidelines and treatment regimens for HIV/AIDS.
  • Recognize the common psychosocial responses and coping activities for a person living with HIV infection.
  • Evaluate the ethical and legal considerations for HIV/AIDS.
