The guide is designed to be taught be peer educators and includes strategies for peer education in addition to the HIV/Aids awareness curriculum. It also includes detailed information on the rights of workers who are HIV/AIDS positive. Originally designed for use in Trinidad and Tobago, this guide can be adopted in any country.
