Limited attention has been given to helping educators to deal with the new challenges posed by the epidemic. Even less attention has been given to protecting educators from HIV infection and to providing care, treatment and support for educators infected with or affected by HIV and AIDS.

This booklet looks at educator development and support; educator conduct; and prevention, care, treatment and support of infected and affected eduators
