Teachers' Exercise Book for HIV Prevention

This booklet contains participatory learning activities that were designed by African teachers to help educate about preventing HIV infection and related discrimination. It includes participatory learning activities to help acquire knowledge, build skills, avoid HIV infection and advocate for effective HIV prevention efforts in schools. The manual aims to provide teacher trade union leaders, their constituency, and teachers with a sustainable product they can use in their countries to strengthen school health programmes, in general, and to prevent HIV infection, in particular. Each activity also contains information to help teachers help others to learn to implement these activities. The publication also provides a series of fact sheets for reference.

This publication is part of a World Health Organisation (WHO) series that aims to provide arguments that can be used to gain support for addressing important health issues in schools. The series illustrates how selected health issues can serve as entry points in planning, implementing, and evaluating health interventions as part of the development of a health-promoting school.
