  • Description:
    In 1988 the California Rural Indian Health Board and the National Native American AIDS Prevention Center developed Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome: the Basics: a Manual for Native American Health and Human Service Workers. The manual provided information and focused on developing skills to enable health and human services workers to address AIDS in their communities.

    In the three years since the development of AIDS: the Basics there has been a great deal of change. There is increasing emphasis on HIV as a spectrum disease, rather than on the artificial distinctions of ARC and AIDS . There is greater emphasis on treatment and on monitoring indicators of immune system health.

    There has also been a great deal of change in the Native American community with respect to HIV. More communities are addressing HIV with prevention and education campaigns. There are community-based task forces in several communities. Unfortunately there are also increasing numbers of cases of HIV disease in Native American communities, which indicates a need for more information on treatment and care.

    This manual was developed as a response to the changes taking place with respect to HIV and AIDS in the Native American community. It is intended to bring the information on HIV up to date and to address the current needs of health and human service workers in Native American communities. While it provides an overview of issues related to HIV, the primary focus is on educational interventions and training. It is also different from its predecessor because it includes contributions by health educators, HIV program coordinators, and HIV service providers.
