The response to the updated HIV testing guidelines has been rapid and broad in the AETC network. Across the country, regional and local offices began integrating the new recommendations into previously planned training sessions, and planning new dedicated events. Case identification and testing have been longstanding topics of interest to the AETC audience of clinicians, presenting opportunities for including the new recommendations into established curricula as well as individual talks and presentations. Within the network, several broadly applicable dissemination tools (pocket guides, slide sets, fact sheets) have been developed. This page lists and describes resources developed and in development within the AETC network, as well as scheduled training events across the country where discussion of the CDC recommendations will be featured.
