This manual is for Community Health Workers and other frontline community-based workers to assist in giving people and communities accurate and valuable information about HIV. This manual will help you to use the Health Literacy DVDs. It can also be used without the DVDs as a resource book. Just like the DVD series, this manual will give you information on all aspects of HIV treatment, prevention and care. This series was made for South Africans, but most of the information is still very useful for people living in other places, especially other Southern African countries.
Health Series Manuals can be obtained from Community Media Trust – contact us for more information.
