Some of us talk about HIV prevention all the time.
As HIV prevention counselors, the authors of this pamphlet get
plenty of opportunity to help people learn ways to protect themselves
from HIV infection.
But we aren’t the only people who can help. All
sorts of people get little opportunities to encourage HIV prevention
during their daily lives: nurses, therapists, substance abuse
counselors, teachers, hairstylists, dentists, coaches, social
workers, parents, shop clerks, just about everyone.
Some people want to help, but they don’t know where
to start, or they’ve run out of new ideas. If that sounds
familiar, this pamphlet might help. It only takes a few minutes
to read, and most of the strategies for teaching HIV prevention
don’t take long to share either.
Each page presents one suggestion, idea or fact about HIV
prevention. Some of them teach simple ways to explain complicated
concepts, such as relative risk and routes of transmission. Others
offer advice on how to listen and talk about difficult subjects.
We’ve even included text that you can use to make a condom
display and blank space on the back cover to write in important
HIV/AIDS information of your own. Use one idea or use all ten.
And remember, no one can make someone else protect themselves.
If you help a friend, a client, a student or a customer stop
and think about HIV protection, you have helped them take a step
towards saving their own life.
