HIV/AIDS
Education
The American Red Cross,
working in partnership with the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, educates people on how to stop the
transmission of HIV, encourages people to respond in
informed ways to people who have HIV, and helps people apply
the facts of HIV to their own behavior. These goals are
accomplished through our educational programs. The American Red Cross, Greenwich Chapter
offers the following HIV/AIDS education programs:
BASIC HIV/AIDS
Education Program:
Our basic HIV/AIDS Program uses fact based discussion to
reinforce information about HIV transmission and prevention,
dispel myths about HIV and AIDS, and help participants learn
from their own experiences and those of others. Activities
encourage people to apply the facts to their own
behaviors.
HIV/AIDS Education
Programs for Youth:
All of the American Red
Cross HIV/AIDS programs provide opportunities for reaching
youth. The American Red Cross approach involves providing
age-appropriate HIV/AIDS education from an early age through
adolescence and young adulthood.
