About <strong>the</strong> AIDS Education and Training Centers<br />

Based in leading academic centers, <strong>the</strong> AETCs serve<br />

all 50 states, <strong>the</strong> District <strong>of</strong> Columbia, Puerto Rico,<br />

<strong>the</strong> US Virgin Islands, and <strong>the</strong> six US-affiliated Pacific<br />

Jurisdictions. Sixty-six universities participate in <strong>the</strong><br />

program. The AETCs aim to increase <strong>the</strong> number<br />

<strong>of</strong> healthcare providers who are effectively educated<br />

to counsel, diagnose, treat, and medically manage<br />

individuals with <strong>HIV</strong> infection, and prevent high-risk<br />

behaviors that lead to <strong>HIV</strong> transmission.<br />

Training targets providers who serve minority<br />

populations, <strong>the</strong> homeless, rural <strong>com</strong>munities, persons<br />

in correctional facilities and migrant health centers,<br />

and Ryan White CARE Act-funded sites. AETCs<br />

focus on training a diverse group <strong>of</strong> clinicians including<br />

Regional and National AIDS Education and Training Centers<br />
