You and Your Child with HIV - Living Positively

You and Your Child with HIV - Living Positively is a full-colour picture handbook, published by the Children's Rights Centre, designed to support the care of children and babies living with HIV. It is designed to help parents encourage children to live positively and to participate actively in the medical and health management of their illness. The booklet was created to help parents care for their children and to give them information to better understand what health workers tell them, as well as what to expect or ask at the clinic or hospital.

The book has different parts and facts intended for different needs. For example, it offers information for caregivers who are worried that a child might have HIV and want to know whether to take the child for testing, for caregivers who have just heard that their child has HIV, and for caregivers whose child is living with HIV.

The handbook consists of the following sections:

• Part 1 - How can my child and I feel positive?
• Part 2 - Keeping healthy at home
• Part 3 - HIV stages and treatment
• Part 4 - Referrals for specific problems
