Education & Prevention

Education & Prevention

AIDS Saskatoon does community education for people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. Getting informed about HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C is the best way to prevent the further spread blood-borne pathogens throughout our communities. Information and a variety of resources and pamphlets are available free of charge at AIDS Saskatoon on a regular basis.

Presentations

Our Education & Prevention Coordinator does a variety of presentations for all types of audiences. AIDS Saskatoon does presentations for schools, workplaces, group homes, drop-in centers, reserves, conferences, etc. Topics can include HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, safer sex practices, safer drug use, needle safety, body art, harm reduction, treatment options, etc. Our presentations are flexible to suit any groups’ needs.
