Introducing HIV/AIDS to South African health sciences students.

Abstract:

:Given the burden of HIV/AIDS in South Africa, there is a need to introduce students to the issues health professionals face about the disease. We developed an introductory peer-led workshop on HIV/AIDS for first year students covering a range of biomedical and social issues. To evaluate the workshops, volunteer students were randomly allocated to participate in one of the workshops or not. At follow-up, students who participated in the workshops showed positive changes in their attitudes and skills regarding HIV. They were also more likely to feel empathy towards HIV-infected people and be more comfortable with the prospect of working with HIV-infected patients, compared to controls. This programme represents a platform for introducing a 'golden thread' of HIV/AIDS into health sciences curricula in countries profoundly affected by the epidemic.
