PHAN	PREVENTING HIV/AIDS NETWORK	Q&A
			What is HIV?

As people with disabilities become more

integrated into our communities, it is crucial to

recognize that what affects the larger community

also has an impact on the lives of people with disabilities.

It is our belief that providing education
and increasing awareness are the best way
to preventing and protecting our loved ones
against the spread of HIV and AIDS

This training program is specifically designed for people who learn differently. Using an honest and direct approach supplemented with videotaped materials, role play, discussions, and games our trainers work with individuals and with groups to learn about risk factors.

The training curriculum is approved by the National Center for Disease Control (CDC) and is geared to individuals who are at high risk for contacting HIV/AIDS. As part of the training curriculum we produced one of the only videos available that highlights the thoughts and feelings of a young person with developmental disabilities who is HIV-positive.

Our HIV/AIDS Prevention Program reaches hundreds of people with disabilities in the city of Philadelphia, giving them extensive training and counseling on HIV/AIDS prevention, as well as referral information.
