Description:The Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC) in Health Facilities training curriculum was updated and adapted based on the 2007 CDC Couples HIV Counseling and Testing Intervention and Training Curriculum. The 2007 curriculum has been adapted for implementation in more than 22 countries to date, and many couples have received CHTC thanks, in part, to those initial materials. However, many changes have occurred since the initial materials were officially released in 2007. The initial materials took 4–5 days to cover and specifically targeted counselors in voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) sites. Although VCT sites still exist in many countries, they are increasingly complemented by other community-based approaches such as home-based HTC, mobile and outreach HTC, workplace HTC, and campaigns. Additionally, HTC services have expanded substantially in health facility settings, and provider-initiated testing and counseling (PITC) is now the norm in most countries. Many health care providers and counselors have been trained to provide HTC to patients but most still lack specific training to address the complex needs of couples and the challenges of implementation in the context of busy health facilities. These materials have been designed for healthcare providers and counselors who have been trained to conduct HTC through their national training programs.
