HIV & AIDS Question and Answer Handbook: Nigeria

This handbook is developed from questions submitted by youth, service providers, HIV hotline counselors as well as community members in Nigeria and other places in Africa. The handbook presents the most commonly asked questions about HIV and is primarily intended as a counseling referral resource.

The goals of this handbook are:

• To offer suggestions on how those who do not already have HIV can protect themselves;
• to provide information to those who are infected with the virus, including suggestions about how to get care and support; and
• to prove false the myths responsible for the unfair treatment of HIV positive people.

"The answers provided for each question represent how health care providers can respond to these diverse, sensitive and technically detailed topics. May also be useful for HIV and AIDS hotline counselors, teachers, extension workers, radio and television journalists and public speakers."

Some of the chapters in this handbook cover topics like testing for HIV; preventing the sexual transmission of HIV; blood and HIV; and caring for a person living with HIV and AIDS.
