CA STATE CERTIFIED HIV TEST COUNSELOR |
LOCATION: Lake & Mendocino Counties 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
