Pre-Assessment WATCH! 2017 Why Language Matters: Facing HIV Stigma in Our Own Words Survey

We are very excited to have you join us for the third webinar in our WATCH! 2017 treatment advocacy series. The WATCH! 2017 treatment advocacy series will consist of 3-6 webinars throughout the year. In a change from prior years, The Well Project will issue certificates of completion for each 1.5 hour webinar to participants who attend the live webinar (or view the recording) and complete the pre- and post-assessment tests. The webinars will be recorded for those who are unable to participate live and will be accessible for one month after they initially take place. If you are accessing the recording of the webinar, you still need to complete the pre- and post-assessments.

Please take the pre-assessment test below for the second in our 2017 WATCH! series "Why Language Matters: Facing HIV Stigma in Our Own Words" by Thursday, November 2, 2017 at 12:00 PM ET. All registered participants should receive a reminder email one day and one hour prior to the webinar.

We look forward to your participation!
