The pandemic of HIV infections has taught us a great deal about how disease is not just physical; it is emotional, political, cultural, social and spiritual. The first portion of the training is HIV 101: an overview of HIV basics, i.e. how HIV is transmitted, how HIV replicates, and some common HIV prevention strategies. The second portion of the training looks at the effects of HIV on an individual, especially related to substance abuse recovery, from the moment she learns of the infection until a treatment strategy is devised - and that treatment strategy must address the whole individual, not just their CD4 cell count.
