Annex Two: Pictures for Teaching

The story of Yulia and Mukasa that was presented earlier in the book shows how HIV comes into a family, and what happens over several years. The characters are shown in pictures to make it more interesting. These pictures are reproduced in the following section for use during teaching.

The original TASO story, from which this version has been adapted, used symbols to help explain the processes of HIV infection, HIV transmission and development of AIDS-related conditions - using circles for HIV infection, squares for HIV antibodies and triangles for HIV-related symptoms. If you feel this makes the story easier to explain to others, you can add these symbols to the pictures in the following section. Other possibilities are to colour the clothing in some way or try to draw what is happening inside the body but cannot be seen on the outside.

AIDS is a chronic disease lasting months or years, and during this time the person with AIDS may move between home and hospital several times. Much of the care of those with AIDS therefore occurs in the home. Home care relies on two strengths - the family and the community. The aim of the AIDS HOME CARE HANDBOOK is to enable health care workers to help individuals, families and communities to manage AIDS - related problems and confidence in their ability to provide safe and compassionate AIDS care at home.

Part I of the handbook is an illustrated teaching guide that helps health care workers give important advice about HIV and AIDS. Part II is a reference guide containing detailed information about common AIDS-related problems and possible causes, what can be done at home to alleviate these problems, and when to seek further help.
