 AB    OBJECTIVES: To develop multicentric training courses for
       multidisciplinary Health Care Providers (HCP) within a
       Cognitive--affective model for the control and prevention of HIV-
       Tuberculosis co-infection. METHODS: Once Tuberculosis Program is more
       experiment than AIDS Program in providing training activities for the
       control and prevention of the disease, we utilized its structure and
       engaged health care coordinators of all levels working in both
       programmes to elaborate curriculum and instructional material. Technical
       knowledge joined to emotional aspects of the training team is a strategy
       to motivate HCP, expanding their capacity to attend to an increasing
       demand of co-infected patients and assuring a multiplyer effect.
       RESULTS: A total of 3 training courses were carried-out to 60 HCP in 3
       states (Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Bahia) during 1993. Trained HCP
       were required to develop the course at their municipalities and, we
       estimate that about 100 HCP had received any kind of benefit from the
       first trained multiplyers. In 1994 we will be reviewing material and
       carrying-out training courses to others municipalities. DISCUSSION AND
       CONCLUSION: One of the most important effects of this course was the
       collaboration between tuberculosis and AIDS programmes from local to
       federal levels. We thank WORLD AIDS FOUNDATION for the support to do
       these course.
