HIV prevention and treatment is a public health priority for

and Injection Drug Abuse in this area, it is imperative that
providers are aware of the screening protocols needed and
their patients are adhering to treatment plans after diagnosis.
MAHEC, in collaboration with Western North Carolina AIDS
Project, seek to educate providers on the reality that HIV is
still a major factor in our communities. This 7-part series
will focus on HIV screening, prevention, and adherence to
treatment plans after positive diagnosis.

nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and public health workers
