Policy Brief: Crimininalisation of HIV Transmission in southern Africa: Fueling the HIV epidemic, SAfAIDS, 2009
Since the advent of HIV, there has been intense debate on what constitutes the most effective HIV prevention approach that governments should adopt. Striking a balance between public health and human rights approaches to addressing HIV have often been at the centre of such debates... Legislators in some countries have called for HIV-specific criminal laws as a means of protecting women from HIV infection, but the irony is that sometimes such laws may result in women being disproportionately prosecuted, since due to antenatal testing, women are more likely to be tested first.

Training of Trainers (ToT) Handbook: Supporting Parents and Caregivers of Children Living with HIV
SAfAIDS, in collaboration with the American Jewish World Services (AJWS) and Firelight Foundation have developed a Regional Children's HIV Treatment Literacy Toolkit. The primary aim of the toolkit is to support children living positively or on ART, and to support their parents and caregivers, and others in their “Circle of Care”. The toolkit contains a variety of materials for children, parents as well as primary caregivers and service providers. This Handbook is one of the components of the toolkit and can be used together with the Service Providers’ Manual and pieces of the Children’s Toolkit.
