Salud, Dignidad y Prevención Positivas

Salud, Dignidad y Prevencion Positivas
Published in 2013 by GNP+ and UNAIDS, the primary goals of Salud, Dignidad y Prevención Positivas (Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention) are to improve the dignity, quality, and length of life of people living with HIV. If achieved, this will, in turn, have beneficial effects on their partners, families, and communities, including reducing the likelihood of new infections. Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention is not just a new name for the concept of HIV prevention for and by people living with HIV, formerly known as ‘positive prevention’. Rather, Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention is built upon a broader foundation that includes improving and maintaining the dignity of the individual living with HIV; supports and enhances the individual’s physical, mental, emotional and sexual health; and, which, in turn, among other benefits, creates an enabling environment that will reduce the likelihood of new HIV infections.

GIYPA Guidebook: Supporting Organisations and Networks to Scale Up the Meaningful Involvement of Young People Living with HIV

GIYPA Guidebook: Supporting Organisations and Networks to Scale Up the Meaningful Involvement of Young People Living with HIV
GNP+ published this document with the aim of encouraging more meaningful involvement of young people living with HIV within the HIV response. Supported by funding from the HIV Young Leaders Fund, GNP+ conducted research among 350 young people living with HIV, and among more than 175 youth-led organisations and networks living with HIV, to identify the key barriers faced by YPLHIV to engaging more meaningfully in the HIV response. The findings from this research led to the development of this tool. Each chapter in this guidebook outlines one of the five steps to scaling up and sustaining the involvement of YPLHIV in organisations:

Understanding what is meant by ‘meaningful involvement’
Finding good reasons to involve youth living with HIV
Linking youth and organisations together
Sustaining and growing youth involvement
Seeing positive health, dignity, and prevention in action

The guidebook provides practical information, tips and tools that can be used by experienced practitioners as well as those who are new to this area to strengthen their capacity to facilitate the meaningful involvement and leadership of YPLHIV.
