Statement of Need
Community-based primary care providers need the most-up-to date clinical education to effectively diagnose, treat, and medically manage HIV-infected patients. In addition, new calls by the federal government to make HIV testing routine for all patients between the ages of 13-64 in primary care settings, requires that health care providers are adequately trained on the latest science of HIV testing, referral and initial management, and have access to appropriate resources. The web video series is designed to enhance the ability of this audience to detect HIV infection, deliver routine care to HIV positive individuals and refer to specialists for the diversity of patients (adolescents, adult women and men, the elderly) cared for in their settings.

Target Audience
Physicians, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Midwives, Nurses, Dentists, Pharmacists, Mental Health Providers, and other Primary Care Clinicians.

Course Goals and Objectives
This continuing education activity is designed to enhance the ability of primary care providers to detect HIV infection, deliver routine care and to refer to specialists as appropriate for HIV positive incarcerated and released released populations.

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

1. Discuss the epidemiology of HIV among incarcerated populations.
2. Describe the distinction between jail and prison custodial settings and how discharge planning services differ.
3. Outline the challenges that HIV-infected inmates face upon release.
4. List the strategies for community providers who are receiving released HIV-infected inmates into their care to best ensure continuity of health care.
