Abstract Background People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Singapore continue to face stigma and confidentiality concerns in their interactions with Healthcare Workers (HCWs). There is a recognized gap in HIV-related knowledge and lack of training opportunities for HCWs in Singapore, particularly amongst nonphysicians and other HCWs who do not regularly care for PLHIV. The HCW HIV Education Series was conceptualized to address these issues and to improve the HIV-related knowledge, attitudes and practices of HCWs in Singapore. Methods The HCW HIV Education Series is organized by an interprofessional organizing committee. The series is made up of four half day modules which are conducted quarterly. The modules are designed and implemented to cater to as many HCWs as possible. The modules function as a series but can also be run as standalone education sessions. The modules are: HIV Basics, Working with PLHIV, Basic HIV Clinical Care and Advanced HIV Clinical Care. In its pilot year (2016–2017), 334 HCWs, predominantly nurses, pharmacists, and social workers attended the series. The HCWs attended from diverse healthcare settings, including public and private hospitals, nursing homes, faith based and community organizations. Pre- and post-module evaluations were completed by participants. Results Only 5% of Module 1 attendees had previously received training in HIV. Across all four modules, there was a marked improvement in knowledge and confidence pre- and post-training. 95% of attendees across all modules felt that they had gained new skills that would add value to their work. While 97% of attendees of Module 1 planned to attend future modules, the attrition rate between modules was high. Conclusion The HCW HIV Education Series is highly evaluated and well attended. Efforts to maintain and strengthen attendance across all modules is needed, the delivery of the modules over a 2-day period may be an effective way to achieve this. Research into the experiences of PLHIV in healthcare facilities should also be considered. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Background:Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is the cornerstone of HIV clinical care and is increasingly recognized as a key component of HIV prevention. However, the benefits of ART can be realized only if HIV-infected persons maintain high levels of adherence.Methods:We present interview data (collected from June 2007 through September 2008) from a national HIV surveillance system in the United States—the Medical Monitoring Project (MMP)—to describe persons taking ART. We used multivariate logistic regression to assess behavioral, sociodemographic, and medication regimen factors associated with three measures that capture different dimensions of nonadherence to ART: dose, schedule, and instruction.Results:The use of ART among HIV-infected adults in care was high (85%), but adherence to ART was suboptimal and varied across the three measures of nonadherence. Of MMP participants currently taking ART, the following reported nonadherence during the past 48 hours: 13% to dose, 27% to schedule, and 30% to instruction. The determinants of the three measures also varied, although younger age and binge drinking were associated with all aspects of nonadherence.Conclusion:Our results support the measurement of multiple dimensions of medication-taking behavior in order to avoid overestimating adherence to ART.
