HIV 101 is an interactive workshop designed to inform and educate the public on the basics of HIV and Hepatitis C (HCV) transmission, prevention and related stigmas.

Each HIV 101 presentation focuses on the following information: How HIV and HCV are transmitted, ways to address/reduce HIV and HCV-related stigma, ways to prevent/reduce new HIV and HCV infections, and how HIV and HCV cannot be contracted.

These presentations can be adapted to fit the needs and age level of the audience. They are an excellent complement to a comprehensive HIV/AIDS curriculum and help instructors fulfill the Oregon Department of Education Infectious Diseases requirement.
