DESCRIPTION           

Through face-to-face contact, presenters not only offer participants the opportunity to learn more about the disease, they also offer a personal story or experience about living with HIV/AIDS.  By bringing personal experience, along with a wealth of HIV/AIDS education and prevention information into the schools, S-CAP’s Speakers Bureau educates participants on how to protect themselves from HIV as well as how to help others who have been directly impacted by the virus.

A sample agenda includes general S-CAP information, HIV/AIDS basics, symptoms/problems associated with infection, HIV/AIDS statistics, safer sex issues and personal experiences from living with HIV/AIDS.
