California State Certified HIV Test Counselor
LOCATION: Lake & Mendocino Counties
WAGE: Volunteer Position
Hello
Community Supporters,
Last year
Community Care launched its free rapid HIV testing on Valentine's Day in Lake
County. Free, rapid, anonymous HIV testing is a valuable community service that
our counties have not had available for many years. We now have
funding resources that will allow us to offer free rapid HIV testing in
both Lake and Mendocino Counties monthly, but we are in need of State certified
HIV Test Counselors.
If there are any
community members who would like to volunteer to become trained as a California
State Certified HIV Test Counselor please let us know. Conducting HIV tests is
an incredibly rewarding and powerful way to give back to the community. As a
Test Counselor you will attend a free week certification program in Sonoma
County that will equip you will all the tools you will need to conduct the OraQuick Rapid HIV1/2 test and work with people
getting tested in a professional and compassionate manner. For our program we
use the oral fluid test so there is no finger prick or blood. Test Counselors
also talk with clients about any concerns they may have and offer valuable
resources and community referrals for additional services, if the client
desires.
If you are
interested in becoming a volunteer HIV Test Counselor please contact Community
Care at (707) 468-9347. If you would like more information about
HIV/AIDS and HIV testing please visit the following websites:
