This course provides practical, real-world knowledge of HIV and AIDS — covering how the virus is transmitted, how infection can be prevented, and how to offer meaningful support to those who are affected. Learners move beyond basic facts to understand what HIV and AIDS mean in everyday life: at home, in the community, and in the workplace.
Aligned to SAQA Unit Standard 8494, the course goes further than awareness alone. It helps learners understand the wider impact of HIV and AIDS on individuals, families, organisations and the economy, and the rights and responsibilities that come with that knowledge.
