摘要：Summary. In the present work, we outline basic health counselling skills, specifically, those for performing
pre-test and post-test counselling for HIV infection. The ultimate goal is to propose that
counselling be performed in facilities that carry out screening for anti-HIV antibodies, following
standardised (and thus replicable) criteria, with consistent focus on the quality of the relationship
between the healthcare professional and the individual undergoing testing and on the individual’s
specific needs.
