YouthNet proudly announces the publication of
HIV Counseling and Testing for Youth: A Manual for Providers
With this easy-to-use, spiral bound booklet, service providers and
counselors can improve their skills and assist youth with the difficult
issue of HIV counseling and testing. Approximately one-third of clients
who seek HIV testing are youth, and these young people often have
different needs than do adults. This 92-page manual provides:
* Step-by-step information for using the traditional voluntary
counseling and testing (VCT) model with youth
* Step-by-step information for using a counseling and testing
model for youth in clinical settings
* Resources to help meet the broader sexual needs of youth,
including information on contraceptive options and other sexually
transmitted infections
* Information on how to counsel youth and use youth-friendly
service approaches
* Tips and role-plays to use with young people on abstinence,
being faithful, and using condoms
* Guides for creating a referral network......and more!
The manual is available online at
