**THIS COURSE IS BEING REVIEWED AND UPDATED. LAUNCH DATE IS TBD**

Understanding how to better design, implement, and evaluate HIV prevention programs for key populations remains a critical need for field programs. There is a strong desire in the field to remain current on key HIV prevention topics, including HIV prevention for key populations, and yet it is a challenge to obtain information because of logistical and time constraints.

By educating field staff and country partners in best practices for HIV prevention programming with key populations, this course will equip learners with a solid understanding of the basic knowledge, skills, and approaches required to design and implement HIV prevention programs for key populations.
