HIV Hope for the Nations

This book contains the insights, information, and understandings gained from studying and teaching this subject in 38 states and more than a dozen trips to Africa and Asia.The author, Duane Crumb, believes that the right answer to any question about HIV and AIDS must meet three tests. In addition to being accurate, the answer must also be adequate (with enough information to be understood and believed) and appropriate (to the specific audience).
Other highlights of the book focus on:
- The importance of motivation over just information in slowing the spread of HIV,
- The use of positive motivation (hope) rather than just fear,
- The essential attitude of valuing people and helping them value themselves and their future,
- Being clear on the audience being targeted with HIV prevention and tailoring the message to that group while not ignoring others you will be addressing,
- Overcoming obstacles including gender inequality, a lack of understand of cause and effect relationships, cultural barriers to making choices, etc.
- The importance of not just changing risk behaviors, but reinforcing healthy behaviors,
- Focusing not only on prevention but emphasizing overcoming stigma and discrimination too often suffered by those living with the virus.
