Short Summary
|
The sexual desires and rights to pleasure of HIV-positive women are often totally ignored. As a result, information which addresses the specific needs of women living with HIV is scarce. A Positive Woman's Survival Kit has been produced by and for women living with HIV/AIDS from all over the world. The first part of the kit focuses mainly on the voices of HIV-positive women and addresses topics such as: dealing with a positive diagnosis; disclosure; staying healthy; pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding; communicating with children; relationships; sex and sexuality; grief and loss; sex work; and human rights and HIV. The second part consists of fact sheets which provide information on specific subjects, including: tips for eating well; reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV; drug use and harm reductions; condoms; and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
The kit is also available in Spanish at: http://www.icw.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=1
and from ICW in French, Russian, Urdu, Thai, Kiswahili and Portuguese.
Fact sheets are available in English at: http://www.icw.org/node/239
