3. IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATING
PEOPLE ABOUT AIDS
Education is an effective tool to reduce the social and economic
vulnerabilities that often make girls and women more prone to become
infected with HIV/AIDS.
Education raises awareness. Educated women are more likely to prevent
the spread of the disease to their children, as they understand the
importance of testing during pregnancy and are mindful of the risk of
HIV/AIDS transmission via breastfeeding.
Education increases the tolerance and empathy of individuals who have
contracted the disease.
By addressing fears and changing attitudes, education reduces
discrimination and stigmas.
Educated children and youth have a better chance to protect themselves
with access to all the facts about HIV/AIDS.

4. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
 Use a condom during sexual intercourse.
 Avoid sharing syringes.
 When getting a tattoo or piercing, make sure the
material is new and disposable or sterilized.
 Use disposable gloves when at risk of direct contact with blood.
 For HIV positive women, consider giving birth by caesarian
section.
 For HIV positive women who are new mothers, consider
feeding your baby with formula instead of breastfeeding.
