As of 2026, 2 states require HIV/AIDS CE for Nurses continuing education for nurse license renewal. The full state-by-state list, with the hours each board requires, is below.
HIV/AIDS CE covers current epidemiology, testing guidelines, treatment advances, PrEP, occupational exposure, and stigma reduction. The information evolves quickly (PrEP, U=U (undetectable=untransmittable), long-acting injectables), so periodic CE keeps clinical practice current.
