14 • MODULE EIGHT: PREVENTING AND LIVING WITH HIV
Linking Learning With Life
How many of your friends have multiple partners? Do they know what risk they are at if they are
having unprotected sex? How can you convince them to do the right thing? Can you plan an activity
that will help a group of young people know what risk they are exposed to? Can you, if you are a
boy, talk to a group of young boys about what you have learned today? What have you decided to
change in your behavior because of the activity?Experience from the field
This activity works well with all age groups including adults. We can use pictures or puppets instead of
different name cards while explaining the story. Some children stated that HIV risk is higher in the general
population because we trust our partners. Some boys who had friends in the community who had
“partners” shared this information with them. (CCDT, Mumbai).Tips for the facilitator
Bring in a discussion on effectiveness of condoms and abstinence and be faithful. (Refer Information
Sheet on ABC).
