A Peer Educator Diary from the Positive Action at Work programme
Basic information presented positively
If you are intent on tackling stigma you may wish to review the materials you currently use to promote HIV awareness and prevention. It is possible that they use fear or negative images to put their message across. Positive Action at Work attempts to present information about HIV and AIDS in ways that do not reinforce stigma.

Workplace materials are available in the following languages:
