Preventing, monitoring, investigating and responding to adverse events is an important component of safe and ethical index testing. Developed by the EpiC project, these tools — including a training curriculum and standard operating procedures — help HIV programs train their staff and health care providers on PEPFAR requirements for adverse events, as well as develop procedures and monitoring and evaluation tools to meet those requirements. The training is designed for virtual use and includes suggestions for program adaptation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
