Preventing Perinatal Transmission of HIV
Since 1994, the Perinatal HIV Transmission Prevention Program has worked collaboratively with other agencies to reach at-risk women and educate providers on the protocol to prevent the vertical transmission of HIV. As a continuing part of these efforts, this educational module, Preventing Perinatal Transmission of HIV, has been created to help providers understand their roles in preventing perinatal transmission. Topics include: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, HIV Testing, Rapid Testing, Research, Treatment, and Resources. The lesson also includes detailed information regarding relevant legislation and the research findings from clinical studies.
The course includes modes of transmission, infection control procedures, clinical management, and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome. It also covers current Florida law requirements regarding testing, confidentiality of test results, and treatment of patients.
The College of Dentistry's infectious disease team, with input from practicing dental professionals, designed this course to give you practical information on HIV/AIDS in an on-line, self-study format. The course includes reading material, graphical examples, and a post-test.
