About the workshop
==================
Catholics for a Free Choice's Frances Kissling and Jon O'Brien and other special guests will lead a series of activities and interactive discussions on some of the hottest topics in HIV/AIDS prevention today, including:
- The "ABC" method of prevention
- "Abstinence Only" programs
- Religious and faith-based beliefs about condoms
- Working with people of various faith traditions on preventing HIV/AIDS
- The sexual rights and responsibilities of people living with HIV/AIDS
- Stigma
Participants will leave the workshop with a better understanding of how people of faith feel about condom-use as part of a larger prevention strategy and how to work confidently with these communities as an advocate for an all-inclusive approach to prevention.
