Could it be HIV? For Physicians

This webinar series has been developed to increase clinician awareness and use of ASHM’s Could It Be HIV? tool in primary and non-HIV specialist care.

This series will build confidence among medical specialists to integrate indicator-guided HIV testing into routine clinical practice. In the webinar you will learn about evidence-based HIV testing, who you should be testing, how to start the conversation on HIV in your practice and understanding clinical indicator conditions.
