Training – HIV & AIDS in the Workplace
Greetings!
I would like to present my course of HIV & AIDS in the Workplace to staff as it is still a considerable concern in the work environment.
Recent stats reported by the government beginning April 2014 stated that there were 400K registered new infections since 2012 and 6.4 million people are infected.
Those are the known persons and affects individuals from all walks of life, everyone is at risk.
Retain experienced workers by educating and avoiding the plunge into additional costs of training new people, their Health & Wellness should be your priority not just theirs.
If you would be so kind as to share the information with the relevant person/persons or point me in the right direction of who manages this form of training, I would appreciate immensely.
Overview
Upon completion of the programme, trained HIV & AIDS coordinators will be able to:
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of HIV & AIDS in a workplace, and its effects on a business sub-sector, own organisation and a specific workplace.
This provides a broad introduction to HIV & AIDS in the workplace.
It introduces a broad case of knowledge about HIV & AIDS that will enable learners to be informed and caring towards workers in an industry.
The focus is knowledge, skills, values and attitudes in relation to the learner’s own context and experience of the world of work.
Training outcomes:
After completing the training programme the learner is capable of:
• Understanding the effects of HIV & AIDS on the immune system.
• Knowing how HIV & AIDS is transmitted.
• Knowing what behaviour is safe and what behaviour carries the risk of HIV & AIDS transmission.
• Knowing what guidelines and assistance are available to support workers with HIV & AIDS and recognise own role in creating a caring work environment.
• Understanding the implications of the HIV & AIDS pandemic for society, the economy, a business sub-sector, an organisation and a specific workplace.
This programme is also available as a certified accredited option: US 13915 SSETA

Events July & Aug 2013 HIV & AIDS
One can never have too many events to create awareness around HIV & AIDS and if you think you know everything on the subject, have I got news for you….I have been living with the virus for almost 9 years and barely a week goes by that I do not learn something new.
The only way to get knowledge is to discuss the HI virus with someone in the know. Don’t assume anything and never believe everything you hear….ask!!
I have a few events coming up in Durban and Kimberley and you are more than welcome to wind your way there, for a small fee of course as I founded an organisation which assist in skills development for individuals living with the virus in order for them to generate an income so please feel free to find out more whilst supporting your communities wellbeing.
Remember the virus does not discriminate!!
OK, now that I have your attention, here are the events scheduled to date for July and August respectively:
AUGUST is Women’s Month – Join in the fun and celebration!
Book early to avoid being left OUT!!
4th July 2013 I will be addressing ‘Women of Strength’ in Amanzimtoti.
27th July 2013 is the Gold Cup Charity Fundraiser – Join us in the marquee. Get tickets from me.
1st August 2013, we will be hosting a Women’s Wellness Workshop. Three wellness issues to be addressed as well as exhibit tables so if you are interested, ask for the proposal.
6th August 2013 at Hillcrest Private Hospital. An engagement to present to staff and patients.
8th August 2013 will find me in Kimberley to present to NOCCI (Northern Cape Chamber of Commerce) a presentation for their Women’s Day.
9th August 2013 back in Durban, an event for young school ladies called ‘Winning in the Workplace’
I am on a mission and I DARE you to CARE!
I am on a mission and dare you to care.
I suppose you think you don’t know anyone who is HIV Positive……..Surprise, Surprise, how wrong you can be?
This may well be the most important item you read today.
It may possibly be your neighbour, your best friend, an aunt, your brother, a cousin, a colleague, parent or even YOUR partner! Anyone could potentially be HIV+, yes, true story.
The fact of the matter is, you do know someone, and they may just not have disclosed their status as yet. Why? Because of the prejudice surrounding the virus and we all hate to be “judged”, don’t we?
You may be thinking; how does this affect me? Well, I personally put my fear in my pocket and made it my mission to make others aware of the pitfalls and the available support by sharing first-hand knowledge by undertaking to do talks and presentations around the country, adding value to individuals as well as group counselling, to those open enough to be concerned, gain knowledge and NOT judge.
Because of the nature of the virus, I have experienced the emotional and physical turmoil of my HIV positive status. I was never offered any support to speak of and had no idea where to go. I literally felt my life had fallen out from under me.
My mission is NOT to allow these regular people, just like you, to live with that outlook and fear. Without pointing fingers, which we know does not change anything; frequently find these human beings are unable to finance the cover of a consultation and receive the support they so badly require before going back into the world, misinformed or untutored, living positively or negatively without pre or post counselling.
It is still heard that the ‘black and gay populace have ‘AIDS’, how sad Mr & Mrs X. The HI virus is widespread throughout the human race, be it White, Black, Indian, Coloured or the rest of the human race.
No-one goes out purposely to get infected, trust me! Nor did I, it happens, be open, take heed; it could be someone close to you next time. If this message is not continued out there, with a 1000 new infections daily, it’s a possibility/probability that this trend will continue. Prevention and support can only be achieved with the participation of the community and nation at large.
By showing your support and empathy to the cause, you could assist in maintaining the many projects structured through the counselling centre, based in and around the country which remain vital to the wellbeing and survival of many people whether face to face, social media or through telephone access.
The counselling centre is based in Pinetown, KwaZulu Natal, started in January 2011 and has been sustained by my family and close friends, however, the time has now come for the lease to be renewed for a further 12 months and we wish to continue sharing the message. By requesting your assistance to what may not be your problem, but a cause that you too could support, we anticipate giving hope to many.
To make a difference in some small way, please find attached a Debit Order Form that can be returned to the below listed details or find the bank details for a once off donation.
Feel free to share this email, much appreciated. Having shared our message we thank you in advance for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Cindy

Positive Living – Skills Projects
PROJECT 1: Computer Skills Income Initiative
PROJECT 2: Training: Support Group Facilitator
~Quality Living Course~
The objective in founding AID My Journey is to play a major role in the transformation of how HIV and AIDS is managed, providing valuable structured programmes on HIV and AIDS and programmes used to enhance employers and employees:
“Educate and empower people by providing local life skills programmes that promotes positive values, healthy habits, and education – resulting in real life power.”
Computer Skills Income Initiative: AID My Journey-Support requires computers and laptops to support this valuable initiative.
These will be put to good use in teaching individuals living with the HI virus that have either been retrenched due to ill health or left their livelihood once they became ill, some basic computer skills.
This initiative is to empower persons to prepare small business plans, quotes, letters and essential admin skills etc. in order to generate an income for themselves.
We plan to communicate these skills through various resources and then have the donated computers available to these persons to pursue their earnings from our premises.
AID My Journey-Support has been kindly offered the services of a local Durban College to teach individuals some of these skills.
Training: Support Group Facilitator – Quality Living Course is a valuable initiative that will encourage individuals to share this much needed information and in time assist in removing the stigma attached to the virus.
This initiative is to motivate and empower individuals to take this course information back to their communities and potentially generate an income for themselves by facilitating their own courses.
Should you wish to support this initiative in any way, we would be most grateful for your support.
There will be acknowledgment of the support via newspapers, website and other social media platforms acknowledging your role in the development of this project.
Many Thanks.
DARE TO CARE
A Hale and Hearty Greeting,
How do you feel? Great!!!
I am quite sure you think you don’t know anyone who is HIV Positive…Wrong!
Continue reading if you have a concern for your fellow human.
Your neighbour, best friend, aunt, brother, cousin, colleague, parent and even YOUR partner may be HIV+, true story. The fact of the matter is you do know someone, they just may not have disclosed their status as yet because of the prejudice surrounding the virus.
You think it may not affect you but it does and it will. Isn’t it nice to know that someone out there living with the virus, that will be me, put their fear in their pocket and went public so that others may benefit with the knowledge and talks presented, sometimes for a fee but mostly not and that includes individual counselling and presentations to corporates who have access to do so.
I am not pointing fingers as most of these individuals do not have the funds to cover a consultation and I can’t allow them to go back into the world misinformed or uneducated either living positively or negatively without pre or post counselling.
‘Black and gay people have AIDS’ REALLY!!! I hear this still, how sad Mr & Mrs X. The HI virus is widespread throughout the human race. HIV does not discriminate. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich, Poor, middle-class, White, Black, Indian, coloured and the rest of humanity, the virus doesn’t care. I didn’t go out purposely to get infected, trust me! Nor did most people, it happens, Deal With It’.
Take heed, it could be someone close to you next if the message is not continued out there, with a 1000 new infections daily, it’s a possibility/probability. Prevention can only be achieved with the support of the community and nation at large.
Show some empathy and assist in maintaining the counselling centre as the projects that are in progress are paramount to the wellbeing and survival of many people.
The time has come for the lease to be renewed at the counselling centre and I am deliberating as to whether to sign for another 12 months or not.
The centre has been sustained purely out of my own pocket and that of my family and close friends….no more!
Harsh, yes, that’s me……I hope that you have got the message loud and clear as it is not something you want or wish on anyone.
Lastly, feel free to share what you comfortably are able to. Consider contributing to the organisation as it will be most appreciated by many.
By way of contributing, please find attached Debit Order Form (R50 – R100 or much much, more) 😉 and banking details should you wish to make an EFT contribution.
Many thanks, yours in sharing.
