Dialogue about HIV and AIDS can help to raise awareness, promote prevention, and reduce stigma:
- Having conversationsTalking about HIV prevention with family, friends, partners, and health care providers can help support prevention. Some conversation starters include asking about using condoms or learning more about PrEP.
- Addressing social aspectsThe social aspects of HIV and AIDS can be difficult to discuss, but it’s important to do so. These aspects include sexuality, religious and moral beliefs, and the private behavior of individuals.
- Recognizing barriersLegal and policy barriers can make it difficult to respond to HIV. For example, some people may not have access to HIV services due to fear, prejudice, or entrenched social values.
- Creating an environment of trustSkilled facilitation can help create an environment of trust, commitment, and openness at the beginning of a dialogue. This can be done by asking questions like “Why is this meeting important to you?” and allowing everyone to introduce themselves.
- Respecting others Dialogue requires treating others with respect, confidence, and thoughtfulness.
HIV is a virus that attacks the body’s immune system, and AIDS is the most advanced stage of HIV infection.
