HIV Training

The STRIPE HIV (Strengthening InterProfessional Education for HIV) Training Modules are a set of 27 case-based modules designed to strengthen the delivery of high-quality HIV care.

STRIPE HIV training combines interprofessional learning with applied exercises, mentorship, and locally grounded case discussions to translate knowledge into practice and strengthen clinical decision-making and health systems. 

STRIPE HIV training has led to:

  • Increased knowledge for delivery of HIV care
  • Greater confidence in clinical care practice and proficiency in using quality improvement tools
  • Increased understanding and respect for other professions in HIV care delivery
STRIPE has enhanced my knowledge and the ability to monitor my patients (PLHIV) especially index client and contact tracing, requisition for viral load and monitoring to ensure the 95-95-95 targets are met.

Designed for Interprofessional Learning

The modules are intentionally designed for facilitated, interprofessional learning. They are most impactful when participants from different professional backgrounds engage in case discussions, reflections, and problem-solving together.

Modules may be used:

  • In facilitated interprofessional workshops (online, in-person, or hybrid)
  • By institutions hosting their own locally led workshops
  • For individual, self-directed learning
Working as an interprofessional team has made the greatest difference. Normally, every health worker is focused on completing their tasks. However, the training has enabled us to learn together, and after, collaborate to identify root causes of the low performance on the indicators and collectively come up with solutions.

The modules are designed for interprofessional groups that reflect real-world HIV service delivery teams, including:

  • Nurses

  • Doctors
  • Pharmacists
  • Social workers
  • Community Health Workers

The notion of flattening the hierarchy in the health sciences training and collaborative practice through interprofessional education, I saw it live. Amongst the facilitators there was so much respect and collegial spirit in such a way students could not really tell who is who, but just saw equally capable facilitators in delivering the content.
