MODULE TWO: COUNSELLING - FHI 360 Center for Global Health ...

8. A 21-year old boy calls the YEF HIV/AIDS Hotline. He lives on the streets,
and sometimes he has anal sex with older men for money. He doesn’t
consider himself to be gay, however. He only uses condoms sometimes, and
he recently developed some sores on his anus. They are really painful, and
he wants to know where to get help.
9. A 32-year old woman calls the YEF HIV/AIDS Hotline. She has been HIVpositive
for seven years, and has not gotten sick yet. She had a 4-year old
daughter, who was infected with HIV during birth, and just died. She is griefstricken
and feels terribly guilty for infecting her daughter. The daughter’s
father left them last year, and she doesn’t see any reason to live anymore.
She hasn’t thought of a specific plan for killing herself, but she is seriously
considering it.
10. A 35-year old man calls the YEF HIV/AIDS Hotline. He is a wealthy
businessman, and he shares drugs on a regular basis with some of his
friends. He has a regular girlfriend, but they do not use condoms because
she is getting birth control injections. He has heard that you can get HIV
from sharing needles and he wants to know if it is true.
11. A 17-year old girl calls the YEF HIV/AIDS Hotline. She has a new boyfriend
and is concerned about HIV, because he says that he has had many sexual
partners in the past. She is still a virgin, and hasn’t slept with him yet,
because he refuses to use condoms. She doesn’t know how to convince him
to use them, and he is pressuring her so much that she feels that she may
give in soon. She wants to know what to do.
12. A 24-year old man calls the YEF HIV/AIDS Hotline. He works in a factory,
and one of his co-workers has just been diagnosed with HIV. He is afraid to
work near him, and wants to know how to protect himself.
