A Message From Your Friends At The Southeast AETC: Our hearts go out to those in our community who were affected by the hurricanes. If you have patients that are having trouble accessing HIV services during this time, we urge you to utilize HRSA’s Find a Ryan White Provider tool to help navigate them to services nearby.

SE AETC Champions Academy Agents of Change

The HIV Champions Academy is designed to equip providers to care for people at risk for and living with HIV in primary care and other non-HIV specialty settings. The first day of the Champions Academy will focus primarily on testing, prevention, and creating a welcoming environment for the LGBTQ community. The second day of the Champions Academy will be focused on the basic elements of HIV treatment, including intake, building an initial HIV regimen, and case studies.
