Detailed Description:
Every day about 8,000 people die from AIDS, 5,000 of them in Africa alone. According to the AIDS Update by the Joint United Nations Programme and World Health Organization, close to 40 million people live with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection worldwide with sexual transmission being responsible for 75% of the infections. This number includes more than 37 million adults and 2.5 million children under the age of 15 years. Sub-Saharan Africa continues to have the world’s highest incidence of HIV infection (about 25 million people have HIV) and AIDS with Eastern Europe and Central Asia experiencing the fastest growth rate in HIV infections. Injected drug use is the number one reason for new infections in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. This course covers ways in which HIV can be transmitted and cannot be transmitted; major elements of the CDC’s universal precautions against AIDS transmission in health care; types of individual health information protected under the HIPAA Privacy Rule; strategies healthcare workers can use to improve HIV/AIDS treatment compliance; and symptoms of depression that may be attributable to depression itself as well as to the HIV disease.

National Association for Continuing Education (NACE)
This 2 credit-hour continuing education online course is a brief monograph on the use of journal writing as an aid to the therapeutic process. While most psychotherapy is conducted through traditional “talking therapy,” having a client express himself through the written word offers another way to let him vent his thoughts and feelings, and to gain information about his internal and external experiences of life. This course includes descriptions of the various uses of journaling as well as detail on seven journal-writing techniques.
