SAVE Toolkit: A Practical Guide to the SAVE Prevention Methodology
Submitted by SHARE Administrator on 22 June 2012
Resource category:
The SAVE prevention methodology has been used and taught by INERELA+ for eight years and is now available as a comprehensive toolkit. This toolkit systematically tackles the stigma, shame, denial, discrimination, inaction and misaction around HIV and AIDS, and comprehensively gives information related to HIV and methods of HIV transmission and how to mitigate these. A major challenge for faith leaders on HIV has been the lack of skills in addressing sex, sexuality and gender in their faith communities. This toolkit gives users a step by step methodology of addressing sensitive issues in an open, informative and non-stigmatising way which does not avoid otherwise difficult issues.
