Online Training
HIV and Tuberculosis: A Spark that Lights the Fire
The Florida/Caribbean AIDS Education and Training Center (AETC) is pleased to present: "HIV and Tuberculosis."
In June of 2009, the training was updated as a PowerPoint presentation and PDF, but the voiceover that accompanies the online training is still being recorded. We should have a new version of the online training with sound by October, 2009. We appreciate your patience. Thank you.
Dr. David Ashkin exhibits a clinical case study of TB, including photographs, x-rays, treatment and results. Epidemiology and statistics are also presented, along with the relationship between HIV and TB. Diagnosis of TB infection, treatment tools and guidelines, and public health goals for TB are additional components of this training.
There are 92 slides to experience, and the presentation takes approximately one and a half hours to view. You can set your own pace, and have the opportunity to review material for reinforcement. A set of handouts is available, and can be printed and used as support material as you view the presentation. The free, Adobe Acrobat Reader is required for viewing and printing the handouts. The slides for this online training are available in PDF or PowerPoint format.
You will be asked to provide some information about your professional experience with HIV, during the training. This is necessary reporting data for our government-funded training grant.
Goals:
Enhance the awareness of clinicians caring for patients with HIV and TB of the significant interactions between these two pathogens.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this program, the participant will be able to:
-
Recognize the significant health threat still posed by tuberculosis and the deadly relationship of TB to HIV and the significant medical and public health implications for individuals co-infected with HIV and TB.
-
Discuss the current available methods of diagnosing TB infection and disease and the ways that HIV can cause difficulty in TB diagnosis.
-

Technical Note:
This training is best viewed on a broadband connection such as cable or DSL. It incorporates sound virtuals which can be slow to download on a dial-up modem. The program will take between one and two hours to complete. Please allow yourself sufficient time to finish the entire training.
