Community awareness programs take the form of
videos, posters, printed information, public service
announcements, and other media produced in native
languages. Booths are sponsored at many Native
American festivals, rodeos, fairs and pow-wows to
reach a broad range of the community with AIDS
information.
Seminars for educators have trained teachers,
administrators and school board members in basic
AIDS prevention education. In addition, IHS supports AIDS training in schools and curriculum
development.
Ongoing Knowledge, Attitude, and Behavior surveys assess the level of AIDS awareness and
behavior change as a result of the programs in place.
In addition, IHS absorbs the cost of providing
AIDS drugs and treatments for seropositive individuals served through the IHS health-care delivery
system.

Currently no IHS HIV money is available extramurally in the form of grants or contracts. The
IHS is stretched to meet its internal needs with the
present allocations.
