Short Summary
|
Sexual and reproductive rights apply to all individuals regardless of HIV status. Yet more often than not, the rights of HIV positive women and adolescent girls are not recognised or given priority. Health workers need both training and support to eliminate stigma and discrimination towards women living with HIV and to provide quality safe and compassionate care to HIV positive women. In general, there needs to be a greater awareness of the larger social context of issues such as those affecting sexuality, sexual health, access to care, and confidentiality. This manual is designed to provide information and structure for a four-day training and a two-day planning workshop that will enable programme managers and health workers in resource-constrained settings to offer comprehensive, non-judgemental, and quality care and support to HIV positive women and adolescent girls in the local context. The manual also urges male involvement and promotes a holistic approach to integrated SRH counselling and programme planning that links SRH and HIV/AIDS services. The curriculum consists of: an introduction for the trainers; detailed session guides; and appendices containing additional training materials and programming tools.
