Description<br />
Now in its second edition, this popular<br />
text provides activity-based material<br />
that can be used to teach courses on<br />
managing HIV/ AIDS in the workplace<br />
and the community. It deals with many<br />
of the current questions and problems<br />
associated with the AIDS pandemic in<br />
South Africa. The text can be used as a<br />
stand-alone resource for a variety of<br />
courses and it contains material<br />

Written in clear, easy to understand<br />
English, Positive People provides<br />
valuable information and skills for<br />
workers in all sectors of the economy,<br />
as well as people in communities<br />

with or affected by the pandemic.<br />
On this revised edition, we were<br />
privileged and delighted to work with<br />
Professor Alta Van Dyk, an expert in<br />
the area.<br />
