Healthcare Provider Training on HIV Disclosure for Children and Adolescents Living with HIV

I-TECH India conducted a two-day training workshop on “HIV Disclosure for Children and Adolescents Living with HIV” for 22 medical officers and 37 antiretroviral therapy (ART) center counselors from 20–21 April 2022 at the Mumbai Districts AIDS Control Society (MDACS). The healthcare providers were trained to provide ongoing support to caregivers and parents for disclosing status to their children/adolescents and for helping them cope with their emotions during the post-disclosure phase. A screening tool for caregivers was also developed for the assessment of disclosure status among children and adolescents.
