New Oral Health and HIV Module for Peer Facilitators
A new module designed to train peers to teach HIV-positive clients about the importance of oral health in their overall care has been incorporated into the Building Blocks to Peer Success toolkit. As a standalone module, the training is intended as a workshop lasting 3 hours and 15 minutes and includes information about the HIV Life Cycle, action of HIV medications, oral health hygiene practices and oral health manifestations of HIV disease. Alternatively, the oral health material can be used separately if "HIV 101" training is being taught in a separate session as part of a larger workshop. The module includes a Jeopardy game where participants can test their newly acquired knowledge in a fun, interactive format.
