Description

Today’s episode will focus on Living with AIDS

Why do you think we choose this topic? In previous episodes we have learned what is HIV, how it is spread from person to person here in Sierra Leone. We have also learned how to support people living with HIV and the importance treating people in our community who are living with HIV with respect and compassion. Today we will learn about AIDs and how we can show compassion and support to people in our community living with AIDS.

After this episode, you will be able to:

1) Define the term AIDS

2) Explain that anyone could be living with HIV/AIDS

3) Understand how to show compassion (sori-at)

4) Explain why we should treat People Living With HIV/AIDS equally
