People living with HIV and AIDS require knowledge and support so they can protect others from infection, protect themselves from HIV reinfection, and avoid other sexually transmitted infections. Because antiretroviral treatments require HIV-positive people to make frequent visits to health clinics, providers have many opportunities to support and reinforce prevention for positives. Thus, FHI has developed a set of publications to build clinical staff knowledge about prevention with HIV -positive persons in low-resource settings. The facilitator's manual and a set of PowerPoint slides are to be used for presentations on prevention for positives for non-clinical as well as clinical staff at health facilities. Both the manual and the slides incorporate notes and discussion questions. They are accompanied by a self-test for participants, one that will let them know how much they know (and don't know) about prevention in care.
The 45 slides provide the facts on prevention for positives, including those on pregnancy, contraception, and sexual dysfunction. The presentation includes practice sessions and recommendations on talking to clients about difficult subjects, as well as many specifics on the Assess, Plan, Support method.
