Nuestros Cuerpos, Nuestra Vidas – La guía definitiva para la salud de la mujer
Nuestros Cuerpos, Nuestras Vidas is an informational book (not presented in ‘charla’ format) with three parts: Como cuidar nuestra salud, relaciones y sexualidad, and la salud y los derechos. Having been published in 2003, some of the surveys and technologies it talks about may be a little outdated; however, the chapters covering abortion, loving relationships between women, and violence against women offer good reading about tough topics.

2. HIV-AIDS Specific
If
you want to get out of the classroom but still talk about healthy lifestyles,
Grassroots Soccer may be just your thing—this manual uses 11 soccer practices
and activities to “ayudar a los jóvenes a tener conversaciones enriquecedoras y
apropiadas sobre la vida, a tomar los primeros pasos para alcanzar sus
objetivos, a mantenerse fuertes frente a los retos y a protegerse a ellos mismos
y a los demás del VIH y del SIDA.” The program is designed for youth
between the ages of 10 and 19.
Although multiple sexual partnerships are a major
drive of the HIV epidemic, the topic is not always adequately covered in HIV
prevention curricula for young people. This manual goes beyond the simple
message that multiple partners is bad and encourages participants to think
about the reasons people give for having multiple partners, the different
patterns of multiple partnerships, and the impact these multiple partners have
on the community.
The five units include (1) Understanding the risks of multiple partnerships,
(2) Countering concurrent partnerships, (3) Creating a media broadcast to
promote monogamous relationships, (4) Practicing skills to avoid multiple
partnerships, and (5) Making a commitment to a monogamous relationship.
This manual provides a sequence of English classes on the
topic of HIV, each lesson including key vocabulary, target grammar structures,
learning objectives, and language skills students will already need in order to
understand the lesson. This program is not appropriate for beginners but would
be great for an advanced community class, teachers’ class, or as an information
source for workshops.
Topics covered include: (1) Setting goals, (2) Steps in
making good decisions, (3) Resistance and negotiation skills, (4)
Relationships, (5) What is HIV? – how it is transmitted and how it affects the
body, (6) What is HIV? – how does HIV affect our community?, (7) Risky
behaviors: drugs and alcohol and HIV, (8) Risky behaviors: sex and HIV, (9)
Making good decisions and using my resistance/negotiation skills, (10) Teaching
my friends and family – identifying the message, (11) Teaching my friends and
family – sharing what I learned, (12) My future is in my hands: final
reflection, (13) Living with HIV – discrimination, and (14) Living with HIV –
maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
