OBJECTIVES
Women are often sidelined in the fight against HIV/AIDS and are often silent victims due to a lack of knowledge and denial. Empowerment is needed to arm women with the necessary knowledge and to negotiate safer behaviors that preserve their health and prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS. Professionals involved directly with female PLWHAs also need to be empowered to manage them in an assertive yet compassionate manner. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Empower women on issues related to HIV/AIDS.
2. Educate participants on how to manage female PLWHAs.
3. Gain knowledge in negotiating safer sex with condoms.
