Sexual and Reproductive Health for HIV-Positive Women and Adolescent Girls Manual for Trainers and Programme Managers

This manual (developed by Engenderhealth adn ICW) is designed to provide information and structure for a four-day training and a two-day planning workshop that will enable programme managers and health workers in resource-constrained settings to offer comprehensive, nonjudgemental, and quality care and support to HIV-positive women and adolescent girls in the local context. The manual also urges male involvement and promotes a holistic approach to integrated SRH counselling and programme planning that links SRH and HIV/AIDS services. It is based on the perceptions and understanding of SRH issues for HIV-positive women and adolescent girls, shared by HIV-positive women and adolescent girls themselves, their male partners, health workers, policy makers, and community leaders, gained through a qualitative research study conducted by EngenderHealth and UNFPA in Brazil, Ethiopia, and the Ukraine. The manual was field-tested with SRH and HIV/AIDS programme managers and health workers in Brazil, Ethiopia, and the Ukraine and the feedback from the field-tests was incorporated into this final version.Now available in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Russian - http://www.engenderhealth.org/pubs/hiv-aids-sti/srh-hiv-positive-women-girls.php
