Course description
Advanced Practice in HIV and AIDS: Prevention, Treatment and Care
The Level 6 & 7 modules are available as stand-alone courses for professionals working or intending to work in the field of sexual health. They are delivered concurrently but have different respective outcomes and assessment.
Advanced Practice in HIV: Prevention, TReatment and Care is an option module for students on a range of programmes, including as a one-off course as a Associate Student or as part of various post graduate programmes of study.
These modules provide an introduction to the multiple and complex problems confronting people who are HIV antibody positive or have an AIDS defining illness. They explore current strategy, policy and services for clients with HIV, as well as social values, beliefs and ethical issues and the implications of these for professional practice.
You will critically examine factors associated with the emergence, continued prevalence and epidemiology of the HIV pandemic and reflect on the wider political, economic and social consequences and have the opportunity to disseminate and share your learning for the enhancement and development of (advanced) practice.
