Health Educator, Misty Johnson, was contacted by Kim Whetzel for assistance to prepare training for providers. She asked for the following information:
• Updated “street slang” used to describe drugs, sex, sexual behavior, other risk behavior
• Updated information on where/how people hook up (apps)
• Updated Syphilis rates in VA
• Her staff heard that HIV rates are increasing in the US and looking for data to support this
• Talking points, perhaps even a handout, to give to primary care providers about the importance of universal testing and how to take a risk assessment
Misty successfully completed Ms. Whetzel's request.
