About Course

The HIV Foundations Certification Assessment is a comprehensive, guideline-aligned evaluation of core HIV knowledge and clinical reasoning. It covers virology, testing, ART, prevention strategies, opportunistic infections, and ethical care. Drawing on WHO, UNAIDS, and CDC guidance, the assessment reinforces key principles such as stigma reduction, disclosure counselling, and rights-based care for vulnerable populations. Ideal for healthcare providers and trainees, it supports competence in delivering person-centred HIV services and achieving the global 95–95–95 targets.
