CEU Course Description

HIV and AIDS are prevalent infectious diseases. While a cure is not available for either, medical treatment and services can help people with HIV live long and meaningful lives. Therefore, it is very likely rehabilitation professionals will encounter patients of all ages with these conditions during the course of their work, regardless of whether or not they are the patient’s chief medical concern. Many therapists may not be aware of the impact these conditions have on occupational performance, the therapy process, and overall function. This makes it crucial for therapists to provide inclusive, sensitive, and effective treatment to all those impacted by these conditions in an effort to improve their well-being and occupational engagement.

CEU Course Objectives

1. Identify the main differences between HIV and AIDS in terms of symptoms, prognosis, and transmission mode.
2. Recognize the impact of HIV and AIDS on occupational performance.
3. List the OT intervention areas that may be used to treat individuals with HIV or AIDS.
