CARES offers two community education programs. Presentations can be done at the same time or separately. Both can be altered to meet the community organization’s or school’s unique needs. For example, having Positively Speaking during a school’s health curriculum is an ideal way to help students understand the human effects of the disease.

Positively Speaking

CARES offers trained speakers whose lives have been affected by HIV to go into the community and share their story. Speakers will give their personal account of what their life was like before diagnosis, at diagnosis, and what is it like living with HIV. Speakers are trained by LOVE, Let our Voices Educate, in the Positively Speaking program – a two day training which covers the basics of public speaking, learning how to answer difficult questions, and adapting the talk to fit the California State guidelines for HIV curriculum in schools. Each speaker presents their story to a panel of other trained speakers and staff in order to be certified as a Positive Speaker. To request a speaker, please print this form and fax it to 916.914.6324.

HIV 101

CARES offers HIV 101 to community organizations. Presenters are CARES health professionals, who are experts in the field of HIV research and care. The presentation covers how HIV is transmitted, how the virus replicates, treatment, medications, side effects, disease progression, and living with HIV. Presenters incorporate the ever-changing advances in medications into their presentations.  To request a HIV 101 presentation, please print this form and fax it to 916.914.6324.

CARES has partnered with the African American faith community to aggressively combat HIV/AIDS, which is disproportionately impacting African Americans. This training will teach and empower local African American church leaders and members to become Community Educators. Through HIV/AIDS education and encouraging rapid HIV testing in African American communities, we can combat this disease. Click here for more information.
