To learn more, check out the World AIDS Day display at the Griffin Campus Library for a great selection of DVDs and both fiction and non-fiction books.
You can also learn more through some of the fantastic AIDS education resources online. Here's a list to get you started:
A Timeline of AIDS
This timeline does a great job of showing the development of the AIDS epidemic, year by year. Starting with 1981, each year has its own blurb and series of relevant links to news and issues of that time.
Southern AIDS Living Quilt
This site focuses on the stories of women in the South living with AIDS. Watch these video testimonials, or consider contributing one of your own.
NAM AIDS Map
Find resources in your area supporting those with HIV/AIDS.
Kaiser State Health Facts
The Kaiser Foundation’s State Health Facts site allows users to begin their information search either through searching by category or by state. The ‘state’ search is incredibly helpful for educators looking for grassroots-based initiatives in their local community to provide guest speakers or resources for students living with AIDS. If searching by the ‘HIV/AIDS’ category, users will be taken to an incredibly comprehensive page of fact sheets, prevention programs and resources, funding sites, and drug assistance programs.
Peer Corps - Teen AIDS
As its title suggests, this site is primarily directed toward educating teens, as well as providing youths with HIV/AIDS with a creative and social outlet. The site also encourages HIV+ teens to tell their own stories by submitting art, videos, written stories and surveys.
