Introduction

This document represents a brief query regarding HIV Rapid Testing activities among CDC grantees in the 65 funded jurisdictions, including health departments, Community Based Organizations (CBOs), Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) providers, HIV/STD Prevention Training Centers (PTCs) and AIDS Education and Training Centers (AETCs).  The query was conducted by the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP) Capacity Building Branch, which solicited information from the HIV/STD Educator/Trainer Network (ETN), as well as the organizations listed above.  The resource materials associated with each grantee’s rapid testing activities were created solely by that grantee and have not been cleared or endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  The information contained in this document is complete as of October 2003

The information was documented in a form that included five components:
  • Type of training
  • Training material available
  • Web based material available
  • Trainers available
  • Target audience
