Volunteer in India
HIV/AIDS Patient Care and Education Program

In India there is a serious stigma attached to those infected with HIV/AIDS. People have limited knowledge about HIV/AIDS; many impoverished people in India are not educated enough to understand the causes of AIDS and how it is transmitted. People who become infected are often excluded from their own family's home and from society. In Delhi/Jaipur, various organizations are working to improve HIV/AIDS awareness, education, and care of HIV-infected patients. The goal of these groups' activities is to foster awareness of the disease and work to change attitudes and behavior towards those unfortunate enough to be infected. These clinics are involved in many worthwhile activities:

• Blood testing
• Counseling HIV-positive people and their families
• Treatment for HIV-positive patients
• Demonstrating and training about HIV/Aids awareness activities
• Some vocational program for the patients

Volunteers in this project will work with local groups and will be responsible for a variety of tasks:

• Teaching awareness activities to truck drivers, women and children
• Demonstrating of contraceptives; condoms, etc
• Counseling activities
• Skill-sharing and training activities
• Rendering help in treatment (trained volunteers with a health care background only)
• Helping to prepare and present educational programs
• Any related help requested by local organizations; report writing, date collection, etc.
