HIV/AIDS A Guide For ChildrenHIV AIDS A Guide For Children The HIV/AIDS: A Guide For children DVD explains to children that having HIV needn’t change their lives completely. They can still hug and kiss their family and friends, go to school, and play and have fun with their friends as normal.

It teaches that you cannot catch HIV by sharing cups, spoons, clothes, toys or living in the same house, but stresses the importance of covering cuts and wounds and not touching syringes, needles or razor blades. The DVD emphasises that those with HIV/AIDS are not bad people, though others may not understand this and be cruel or unkind. The importance of antiretroviral medicine, blood tests and health clinics is stressed. Talking about HIV/AIDS with others particularly after bereavement is suggested, as is the caring for a relative with AIDS. The whole lesson demonstrates audiovisually that a child with HIV may sometimes feel ill, but the child can still have fun and play with friends.
