As future health practitioners and current medical students, it is essential to understand the current SRHR challenges when it comes to HIV and AIDS across the globe and all IFMSA regions: from stigma & discrimination related issues to lack of basic medical knowledge.
The HIV Education and Advocacy Training (HEAT) is the fruit of extensive work done by IFMSA members, that resulted in a 3 day cohesive learning experience that tackles the medical, social and advocacy related aspects in order to get participants fully equipped to take part in the HIV and AIDS response.
It provides facilitators with the resources, tools and guidance to effectively facilitate the HEAT or shorter workshops related to HIV and AIDS.
