HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) will be running another FREE online HIV Awareness Training Course in September/October over Zoom.
If you haven’t done this training before, you will need to complete the first three compulsory two-hour modules that make up the normal One-Day HIV Awareness Training. You are then welcome to add on one or both additional modules that focus on specific issues around HIV & Ageing or HIV & Black Communities.
If you have already attended the HIV Awareness Training, either online or in person, then you can book to do the extra modules in HIV & Ageing or HIV & Black Communities. Please let THT know what training you have previously attended when booking.
