Using ART Grain Sack Charts: A Discussion Guide for Community Liaison Volunteers
This discussion guide was developed for use by Uganda’s Community Liaison Volunteers (CLVs) in conjunction with ART grain sack charts, a set of charts produced to encourage discussion around various thematic areas of concern for people living with HIV, including nutrition, prevention for positives, ART adherence, prevention of mother-to-child infection, and stigma. It is designed to help CLVs facilitate small group discussions with community members to increase awareness of and the importance of adherence. For each grain sack chart, there is a set of Learning Objectives and Group Discussion Questions, as well as suggestions for take-home messages.
The guide’s discussion topics include:
- What is a good diet? What is a bad diet?
- Which foods keep you healthy?
- Choices for safer lifestyles
- The price of choosing unsafe lifestyles
- What is stigma and discrimination?
- Your body before and after HIV
- When does a person start ARVs?
- The role of CLVs
- When can HIV be passed from mother to child?
- Caring for HIV positive children
