The HIV and Preconception Care Toolkit
The HIV and Preconception Care Toolkit was developed with the aim of helping HIV primary care providers to address reproductive health issues with their patients, including preconception care, family planning and safer conception for HIV sero-discordant couples. The materials were developed by the FXB Center in collaboration with members of CDC’s Expert Panel for Preconception and Reproductive Health of HIV-Infected Persons and CDC’s EMCT Stakeholder Group on Family Planning and Preconception Care.
The toolkit includes training slides; a recorded webinar; healthcare worker job aids (including an algorithm on preconception counseling and care and a provider’s guide to preconception counseling); and educational materials for patients.
