| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | * First publication designed specifically for health workers developing programs for HIV-infected and at-risk populations<br/>* Outlines a practical, step-by-step process to implement these programs<br/>* Published in association with the International Rescue Committee<br/><br/>The explosion of the HIV epidemic presents a challenge to relief agencies working with displaced and war-affected communities. Based on work done by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), this book shows how relief agencies, usually present during both the crisis and post-emergency phases, can work with refugees and local people to minimize further spread of HIV and provide care and support to those affected.<br/><br/>The manual is complete with training exercises, activities for engaging the refugee population in HIV prevention work, and references for HIV resources. Protecting the Future is useful not only for humanitarian workers, but for any health professional establishing HIV programs in resource-poor settings. |
