AIDS Classes for Licensure

If you work as a health care professional or in a state licensed or certified health care facility in Washington, you must have AIDS training. 

 

Health Care Professions

In order to get a license, certification or registration to practice a regulated health care profession in Washington state, you are required to have either 4 or 7 hours of AIDS education (RCW 70.24.270 and WAC 246-12-260, WAC 246-12-270, . When you submit your paperwork to the licensing agency for your particular profession, you will sign a declaration that you have completed this education.  It is important to keep records of your HIV/AIDS training support your statement (WAC 246-12-280). The training is a one time requirement, and must include:

  • What are HIV and AIDS.

  • What causes them and how HIV goes from person to person.

  • How to counsel for HIV testing.

  • How to be safe in the workplace.

  • Signs and symptoms of HIV and AIDS.

  • Legal and moral issues.

  • Confidentiality and emotional and social issues.

Employees of State Licensed or Certified Health Care Facilities

HIV/AIDS education on prevention, transmission and treatment is required (RCW 70.24.310) for employees of state licensed or certified health care facilities (WAC 247-04-020.).  There is no specific hourly requirement to cover these topics.  In general, it should take about 2 hours of education to cover these topics adequately.

 

The courses listed below can help you meet this requirement.
