This is an integrated risk assessment form for STD, HIV, and hepatitis A, B, and C. The risk assessment form is designed to assess at-risk clients within your clinic and determine the services they should receive. This form is designed to be self-administered.

In addition to screening, testing, and/or vaccine services, all clients should be offered appropriate counseling and educational materials tailored to their specific risks.
