The State
of Washington has a legal requirement that certain identified
workers have training related to HIV and AIDS. Selection of topics
may be made to meet specific licensing boards' requirements. Unless
otherwise specified, all six topic areas must be covered for the
7-hour licensing requirements. Topic areas I, II, V, and VI must
be covered for the 4-hour licensing requirements and for non-licensed
healthcare facility employees (who have no specific hourly requirements).
Please consult
the Department of Licensing at (360) 236-4700 with specific questions
about hourly requirements. Please note that these curriculum requirements
may not fulfill the needs of your particular certification or
licensure. Funeral directors and embalmers are under the jurisdiction
of the Department of Licensing and may have additional requirements.
Drug, Alcohol and Substance Abuse counselors are required to have
additional, specialized training. Emergency Medical Services workers
have additional annual training requirements. Please check with
the entity that licenses or certifies you, or call the Department
of Health's HIV/AIDS Hotline for referral at: 800-272-2437.
