Self-directed course: HIV and Hepatitis C Testing

CATIE’s HIV and Hepatitis C Testing course aims to develop in-depth knowledge of testing technologies, approaches to testing, and how all service providers play an important role in reaching people with HIV and hepatitis C. Throughout this course, participants learn about the importance of testing for HIV and hepatitis C, what testing technologies exist in Canada, and key considerations to support people throughout the testing process. By exploring different approaches to testing and the barriers that exist from both an individual-level and system-level, service providers come away with strategies to facilitate testing and linkage to care, treatment, and prevention in their communities and with their clients.

Due to a cybersecurity incident in early May 2026, access to the Canvas Free-for-Teacher online learning platform has been temporarily suspended, which includes all of CATIE’s self-directed courses. We are awaiting more information from parent company Instructure on when they plan to resume access to the platform, and we will share updates with CATIE course participants as we learn more. In the meantime, please browse our offerings of courses facilitated by a CATIE educator, which have been unaffected by this service disruption.
