A $14 million, five-year federal grant to the University of South Florida's Center for HIV Education and Research will allow the organization to continue and expand a program that trains health workers to offer top-quality HIV care, The Tampa Tribune reports. The program has trained more than 100,000 health care providers in Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands since launching in 2002. Michael Knox, the center's director, says the program is necessary to keep up with rapid developments in HIV treatment. He notes that U.S. federal HIV treatment guidelines have changed 49 times during the past eight years.
