About this title

Synopsis

This is a book for both general and professional readers, aiming to provide the type of information about AIDS that will help everyone to play their part in preventing the spread of the AIDS pandemic. It covers preventative measures, specific population tactics, social policy and workplace factors. There are appendices containing 18 model AIDS education programmes designed to be adapted for various types of populations. Some attention is paid to the use of humour as a technique for preserving morale in both HIV-positive persons and in their carers - it is also seen as a means of breaking down the barriers of denial and resistance during AIDS education and prevention programmes.
