Caring for Children with HIV

When placement of an HIV-infected child occurs, foster parents are required to complete the course “Caring for Children with HIV”. This course contains information on the unique aspects of pediatric HIV disease, transmission and infection control, the spectrum of HIV disease, confidentiality and self-care for the caregiver. This training is not offered on a regular basis, so if you need/want this training, please contact Jesica Culp at jculp@ifapa.org or call 800-277-8145 ext. 2 to be added to our waiting list.
