Dialogue: Expanding the Response to HIV/AIDS, A Resource Guide

The materials presented in this document aim to provide information and guidance to organisations and individuals seeking to explore or use dialogue as a strategy in HIV/AIDS prevention programming. The introduction describes it as the "first documented effort to develop and integrate dialogue as a specific technical strategy and integral component of HIV/AIDS prevention." This publication provides guidelines for planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating the strategy.

The intended audience for this resource includes HIV/AIDS, health care, reproductive health and development professionals working within programme and clinical research settings. It also includes individuals working with grassroots, community-based, empowerment and others who are seeking to open up communication channels. The authors suggest that this guide may also can help facilitators working with couples and families whose behaviour change is critically important to sustained risk reduction in combating HIV/AIDS.
