People living with HIV/AIDS deserve the most accurate and up-to-date treatment information as provided by informed, competent, respectful and compassionate service providers and peers.  The California Statewide Treatment Education Program (CSTEP) strives to make this a reality.

CSTEP offers up-to-date information about HIV and HIV treatment. CSTEP trainings are FREE, multi-level and offered in English and Spanish.  CSTEP is for HIV and HIV-related service providers including case managers, treatment advocates, health educators, mental health counselors, outreach workers, peer advocates, and substance use counselors.
