Syndemic Service Navigation and Integrated Testing
Syndemic Service Navigation and Integrated Testing
Integration is based on the understanding that a behavior that makes someone vulnerable to one infection, such as sharing drug injection equipment or having condomless sex, may put an individual at risk for multiple infections, and that the prevention and treatment of these multiple infections can be addressed in a single intervention or service visit.
This page contains information about deliverable grids, workplans, trainings, guidance documents, and other resources for folks performing syndemic service navigation and/or integrated testing. Ideally, integrated services should give clients, regardless of the initial reason for seeking care, seamless access to tailored and comprehensive services for HIV, STIs, and viral hepatitis to meet their specific needs.
Syndemic Prevention Subject Matter Assessment
The purpose of this test is to ensure that anyone across Washington State providing syndemic prevention services has the same baseline knowledge of HIV, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), Hepatitis C (HCV), and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP).
Please review these resources before starting the test, as they will assist with the subject matter necessary for success.
