Compendium Home Page Readers (Stories and Factbooks) Index Page Annecke, Wendy and Nozizwe Madlala. What If It's Me? Help With AIDS. Durban, South Africa: New Readers Project, 1992. Available from: Peppercorn Books and Press; P.O. Box 693; Snow Camp, NC 27349; phone (336) 574-1634; $7. This story was written for South African adults in literacy classes, but could be valuable in doctors' offices or ESOL classes in the United States. The illustrated story tells what AIDS is, how it is spread, and how to stop this. The story takes place among a group of people at a Bible Studies evening, and addresses some of people's negative reactions to the topic of AIDS. This book could be helpful when working with people who find U.S.-based AIDS education materials too positive about sexual relationships outside of marriage. All the organizational resources included are from South Africa. Also available in Zulu, Xhosa, and Sotho. Keywords: AIDS/HIV |
