The course on HIV/AIDS, Communicable Diseases is designed to provide you with basic knowledge and information that every massage therapist should know in order to:

• Understand the difference between HIV and AIDS
• Learn how HIV is transmitted
• Know how HIV is diagnosed
• Understand how the immune system works
• Increase understanding regarding therapeutic massage benefits for your HIV/AIDS patients

• Enhance your knowledge regarding OSHA’s blood-borne pathogen standard
