RFI: HIV/AIDS Curricula (2)
---------------------------
Dear Mary,
I'm also looking for material on the same issues, for my organisa-
tion, an Italian NGO working in many health development programmes in
African countries. In particular, about the first issue you named,
"Training health care workers about the basic medical facts of
HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment", we have selected some official
publications available on WHO and UNAIDS web sites. You probably have
already those pubs, but I send you the links anyway, hoping that
something can be useful for your needs:
* UNAIDS (ONUSIDA) site:
http://www.unaids.org
Useful documents on this site: Common path: home page (bottom of
page) >>> publications >>> documents >>> then various ways to access
the database.
* UNAIDS/UNICEF/WHO/MSF

ing with HIV/AIDS. May 2001.

Some of our projects are preparing training courses for health work-

local experts (governmental and non-). As soon as we have some ready
material I could forward it to you, if you are interested. May you
please share any interesting info you get from AFRO-NETS colleagues,
in reply to your request? Thank you.
Best wishes,
