WHAT IS THE 7 HOUR HIV/AIDS WITH BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS PROGRAM?
As part of your tuition, the 7-hour HIV/AIDS program includes the Bloodborne Pathogens training which fulfills the Washington State Department of Licensing requirements for all health related professionals under the Uniform Disciplinary Act (RCW 18.130). Basically, this is to give healthcare workers in Washington State a standardized procedure to ensure professional competence and conduct in the health field.
This program presents a comprehensive look at HIV/AIDS, including etiology and epidemiology of HIV, transmission and infection control, clinical manifestations and treatment, psychological, legal and ethical issues as well as testing and counseling. The classroom instruction consists of lectures, videos, and handouts which culminate in a final exam.
Once the exam is passed, the student will be certified. Please call our office for details.
WA State HIV/Aids certificate is not required, however it is included in the bloodborne pathogens training for our CNA certification.
