Before you start work on HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is a potentially sensitive subject and discussion about it can provoke strong views as well as highlighting the need for additional information. People working with young people need to be aware of the legal and cultural context in which they operate and how it might support their plans and affect young people.
- Check out your own attitudes and values;
- Check out your knowledge;
- Check out what institutional, local or national policies and laws offer guidance and affect teaching around HIV/AIDS;
- Check out what support or expertise there is within your institution or locality;
- Reflect on the local culture and community attitudes towards HIV/AIDS and how that will affect what you aim to achieve and do.
- There is a lot of information on this website (www.avert.org) which you can use to learn more about HIV/AIDS.
