Course Overview
This fulfills the continuing education requirement of HIV/AIDS for the state of Florida.
An estimated 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV. As many as 1 in 7 do not even know they are infected. The others utilize the healthcare system in various ways, from testing and treatment regimens to hospitalizations for symptoms and opportunistic infections. Healthcare professionals in nearly every setting have the potential to encounter patients with HIV, as the disease can affect patients of any age or stage of life (4). A proper understanding of HIV is essential to provide high-quality and holistic care to these patients. For nurses practicing in the state of Florida, it is also essential to understand the laws, statutes, and regulations regarding testing, treatment, reporting, and confidentiality related to HIV and AIDS within the state.
