Take the US HIV Workforce Survey

The Black AIDS Institute along with our partners, National Alliance for State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) and the Latino Commission on AIDS, has launched the U.S. HIV Workforce Survey, a national assessment of the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of people who work in HIV/AIDS.

While understanding the science of HIV is critically important for both treatment and prevention, the level of knowledge of the current work force is not clear. The goal is to better understand what members of the HIV workforce know and don’t know about the science of HIV/AIDS, so that appropriate training, capacity building and technical assistance can be created to end the AIDS epidemic in America.

The 62-question survey consists of 21 demographic and screening questions, 26 knowledge questions, and 15 questions about biomedical interventions. Survey participants will have 60 seconds to answer each knowledge question, but there is no time limit for all other questions.

Go here between now and May 1 to take the survey online or call your local AIDS-service organizations to find out if they're administering the survey on an iPad.

The Black AIDS Institute would love to hear your comments about your experience taking the survey. Post a message on our Facebook page or tweet about it on Twitter using #HIVKAB2013.
