An Adolescents' HIV Prevention and Treatment Toolkit for Eastern and Southern Africa

Building on the exciting workshop with UNESCO and their country offices and government and civil society partners last week, I thought it would be pertinant to share another resource recently developed with their guidance.

The Adolescents' HIV Prevention and Treatment Toolkit emerged from the the "My Big Story Book - Learners & Teachers Tell their Stories of Living Positively with HIV" : A Practical Guide for Teachers, published by UNESCO in 2013.


This guide includes background information as well as lesson plans to tackle issues such as stigma and discrimination, disclosure, caring for each other, becoming an HIV champion and reaching out to others in the community on HIV issues. It uses an exciting PhotoVoice methodology.

Fact 1: Evidence shows us that 52% of all new infections among young people occur in Eastern and Southern Africa. 

Fact 2: Fewer than 40% of young people in the region have basic information about HIV.


The Adolescents' Toolkit developed in partnership with SAfAIDS has several pieces which together make up the Young Champions Support Pack, for use and dissemination in schools. There is a facilitators guide aimed at teachers, school staff and counsellors that uses a training of trainers approach so that those introduced to the pack can teach others how to use it.

There is a reference handbook for all those trained as a training take-away and go-to resources for facts and other information on HIV Prevention and Treatment relating to adolescents.

As the pack is for young people themselves, helping them know more and encouraging them to be young champions for change, there are three age appropriate workbooks that take young people through what they need to know about HIV prevention and treament in a fun way.



And because it is school based there are 11 Educators Cards to prompt discussion at appropriate times in the classroom.


UNESCO are rolling out these kits across Eastern and Southern Africa. At SAfAIDS we have 200 of these kits to use creatively with school based and school linked partners. Excitingly, this Young Champion Support Pack crosss over to out of school youth (including young married couples).

Thre are also the usual SAfAIDS games, quiz cards (colour coded for differnt topics), stickers and a poster for all to have fun with.

You want it- we've got it!

Young people are our future, let's keep them safe!
