HIV / AIDS Prevention / Care
Are you interested in global public health issues and want to help in a nonclinical setting?
Based on CDC statistics there are almost 40 million people living with HIV around the world. In several rural communities throughout the world, HIV and Aids cases are very common and even devastating to entire populations. In some parts of the world, the infection rates are unbelievable, and thousands of people are infected within a single community. The vast majority of people living with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa. These children living with HIV deserve treatment and a chance to live a healthy life.
A Broader View partners with several different NGOs and agencies to increase awareness of how to prevent transmission and infection of HIV/AIDS amongst key groups and to try and remove some of the stigma attached to people living with HIV and AIDS. Global health and HIV education are a driving force to combat the spread of this disease. In our programs, we are working in partnership with governments and local organizations in strengthening families, communities and national health systems to end AIDS for good. Prevention and education focus incorporate improving reproductive health, antenatal care, safe delivery, and new-born and child health in a continuum of care..
With your help, you can bring more knowledge and more hope to those who are struggling to cope with this disease for themselves or a loved one.
Some of the tasks you may be asked to perform include:- Improving HIV/AIDS awareness
Providing HIV/AIDS education
Caring for HIV/AIDS patients
Improving attitudes regarding HIV/AIDS infected persons
You will be working in close proximity to HIV/AIDS patients as well as teaching and providing education to those who know others that have HIV/AIDS. This program will allow you to engage directly with a part of the population that is often shunned or is often treated poorly by the rest of the community.
If you’re looking for a way to get involved with medical care but you do not have a medical background you can absolutely make a difference through this program. You’ll be able to interact directly with people who are some of the most vulnerable within the community. You’ll also be able to directly improve their lives and help them to regain relationships with family and others within the community by improving the level of education regarding these specific diseases and how they can be transmitted.
Each of these countries have high levels of patients with HIV/AIDS and can greatly benefit from learning more about what these diseases truly mean and how they can treat their loved ones. If you’re looking for a way to get involved then there are plenty of great ways that you can get involved with this program. All you need to do is decide which of these four countries you would like to visit and where you think you can do the most good. Each of these programs can greatly benefit from your care and your level of compassion and care within the communities themselves and amongst the patients being served.
