RESOURCES AND REFERRALS<br />
Counsellors need to have adequate resources to consult if they do not know the<br />
answer to a question posed by a client. These resources can consist of both<br />

experts who can be contacted to answer questions). Examples of resources<br />

Granich, M.D., M.P.H.; Jonathan Mermin, M.D.., M.P.H.<br />

♦ HIV/AIDS transmission and prevention<br />
♦ HIV/AIDS treatment options<br />

♦ Condom use<br />
♦ Home-based care<br />
♦ Universal precautions<br />
