About CEI

Clinical Education Initiative (CEI), a New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute program, is designed to enhance the capacity of New York's diverse healthcare workforce to deliver clinical services to improve health outcomes related to HIV, Sexual Health, Hepatitis C (HCV) and Drug User Health (DUH). The aims of CEI are fourfold:

  • Educate clinicians by providing continuous and innovative HIV, Post-Exposure Prophylaxis/Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP/PrEP), HCV, sexual (STIs) and drug user health trainings.
  • Expand the base of providers able to diagnose and care for patients impacted by HIV, HCV, STIs, and DU.
  • Disseminate AIDS Institute clinical practice guidelines, other relevant materials, and resources.
  • Foster partnerships among community-based providers, affiliated organizations, and HIV, HCV, STI and DUH specialists.
  • CEI Line 1.866.637.2342

    We offer a toll-free number to clinicians in NYS to discuss HIV, PEP, PrEP, HCV, Sexual Health and DUH patient management with a specialist.
