health i enter and its staff, so the system is being
i hanged. I leist hti said
"I he higgrst change is that threi nurses an- tiring
trained to do pro and post test counseling to i ul down
or the amount ot time physicians spend ( ounselmg
Physicians still do sonic <>! th< c:mium wig. hut thr
nurses lire taking over the majority <>l that effort, s.uii
Judy Moffett, nursing dirt* tor of the health center
The pre test counseling involves i onvers.ition fie
tween a nurse and student about risk I,u tors, ways to
practice safer sex and a dear understanding of the test
Post-test counseling depends on the results If tie
test is negative, the nurse will reiterate wavs to remain
healthy and if positive, options and de< isions for tfie
patient s i ate will lie dis< ussed. Mol felt saiii
In another effort to decrease the strain caused by the
increased demand lor the test, the health renter stall Is
offering presentations on the HIV lest to housing units
and student groups, Heist hfi said
fraternities, sororities and dorms are some of the
places that presentations on the testing procedure may
In given if they express an interest. I leischli said
i ieisihli said fie hopes test presentations vx.i! cut
down on the amount of time nuts.tnd physicians
spend counseling afniut the test
He said counseling to groups might weed out some
people who .ire unsure whether they should h.tS’ the
test, thus limiting testing appointments
Results aren't known lor two Weeks alter the test. SO
anybody who doesn't want to wait until January for
the results should wait until after Christmas vacation,
