title: HIV/AIDS training for health care providers working with women at risk.
abstract: Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in women is frequently inadequate. Often women are not assessed for risk behaviors that put them at risk for HIV infection. Viral transmission is preventable through behavioral changes. Past experience has demonstrated that one effective method to educate women at risk is to train direct care providers who work with women. Highly skilled providers with expertise in prevention education strategies can facilitate and support behavioral changes in women at risk for HIV transmission.
