Training materials for pharmacists

FIP Training Modules on HIV/AIDS

The International network has developed three FIP Training Modules in HIV/AIDS.

These training materials target a variety of audiences with the aim to promote prevention, improve safe sexual behaviour, promote risk reduction, improve proper treatment and provide pharmaceutical care in the community.

Three modules were prepared in 2004 and are available below:

  1. a module that highlights the pharmacist's roles in preventing the transmission of HIV/AIDS [pdf file: 1050 KB],
  2. a module that addresses the roles of the pharmacist with regard to the safe and effective use of antiretroviral therapies, HIV opportunistic infection drugs and palliative care [pdf file: 4700 KB],
  3. a module that specifically focuses on the roles of the pharmacist in HIV/AIDS prevention among illicit IV drug users [pdf file: 1350 KB].
