Early AIDS activism in the North emphasized the acquisition
of scientific literacy by communities affected by HIV/AIDS as
a tool for empowerment and improved health outcomes. Since
the advent of HAART, scientific literacy is more important
than ever. This session will outline the process of creating a
comprehensive and successful HIV science literacy program.
It will examine different models from different regions of the
world. It will look at the full spectrum of raising scientific
literacy among vulnerable populations from interview/selection
process, the training curriculum, application of knowledge,
evaluation and continued education. Tools and resources will
be shared with workshop participants and participants will
have an opportunity to hear from both trainers and those who
have been trained.
