This webinar series has been developed to increase clinician awareness and use of ASHM’s Could It Be HIV? tool in primary care. It will build confidence among GPs and medical specialists to integrate indicator-guided HIV testing into routine clinical practice. In the webinar you will learn about evidence-based HIV testing, who you should be testing, how to start the conversation on HIV in your practice and understanding clinical indicator conditions.
