Let's talk about HIV counselling and testing: Facilitators' guide

This toolkit is designed to help NGOs, CBOs and other civil society organisations responding to HIV/AIDS in developing countries increase their knowledge and improve the quality of their work on HIV counselling and testing.

The resource is intended for use by NGOs and trainers who support such groups and has been designed to be used flexibly, either in capacity building workshops or during technical support visits.

This toolkit is not limited to any specific country, region or epidemic trend. The International HIV/AIDS Alliance works in many different countries around the world, all presenting differing challenges to responding to HIV. Some of our learning from working with different communities is shared here.

‘Let’s talk about HIV counselling and testing’ has eight sections covering different aspects of HIV counselling and testing. Each section begins by providing essential information comprising key definitions, concepts and messages after which participatory activities are presented for carrying out with NGO/CBO staff.
