This diverse collection of information will benefit all involved in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and support efforts, including health care providers, counseling professionals, community workers, and people living with HIV/AIDS.
The authors have distinguished this reference guide from others by highlighting the interactions among prevention, care, and support activities and emphasizing the link between VCT and the HIV/AIDS prevention-to-care continuum. This is an important step in combating the spread of the epidemic and mitigating its impact on those infected and affected by HIV. This is a valuable contribution to the future of effective HIV VCT and to enhancing prevention, care, support, and treatment efforts.

This publication was developed to guide the training of VCT counselors and is meant to be a VCT training curriculum. The Facilitator's Guide standardizes training in and provision of counseling services in various settings using a variety of service-delivery models. The guide is accompanied by a related document, the HIV Voluntary Counseling and Testing: Skills Training Curriculum Participant's Guide, which includes worksheets and checklists for the training sessions, as well as texts for demonstrations and exercises.
The materials in this training curriculum were selected from a variety of HIV/AIDS counseling training manuals. Although no training curriculum can be exhaustive, this one attempts to outline the key activities and information necessary to train people to provide VCT services. The training materials are generic documents intended to be liberally adapted to suit specific socio-cultural contexts. The guide should be seen as a living document to be revised as needed, ensuring that counselors have the most up-to-date information to deliver high-quality VCT services. The intended users of this guide are VCT trainers at the national, district and facility levels who are beginning or expanding VCT services.

WHO/UNICEF Joint Statement on Clinical Management of Acute Diarrhoea
UNICEF and World Health Organization (2004)
Download Resource
More than 1.5 million under-fives continue to die each year as a result of acute diarrhoea. But newly formulated oral rehydration salts and successes in using zinc supplementation can reduce the number of deaths. Though oral rehydration salts and oral rehydration therapy have been successful in reducing diarrhoea-related deaths for many years, in some countries knowledge and usage may be declining. Families and communities are key to the survival, growth and development of children. This Joint Statement prepared by WHO and UNICEF, emphasizes their role in preventing and treating diarrhoea.
