Source HIV Counseling and Testing
Students selected to go through the HIV Counseling and Testing Program will serve as HIV Counselors at one of two participating community clinics: Chase Brexton and Johns Hopkins Hospital Emergency Department. There will be at least 10 students per site, including a student leader. Students undergo training to become certified HIV Counselors in Maryland, participate in orientations and site-specific training, and are required to volunteer for at least two, 3-4 hour shifts per month. Also, to help support students in the program, build community among the volunteers, and create a rich service-learning environment, student volunteer counselors will be required to participate in quarterly discussion groups and reflecĀtion activities.
