Among South African adults, the rate of HIV cases advancing to AIDS has stabilized since 2005; among young adults, the rate actually has declined as AIDS clinics dramatically have increased access to effective treatments. Although public health officials recognize a few encouraging signs; nonetheless, the HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to ravage South Africa and all of Africa.

The World Health Organization only recently began studying the number of adults who claim “comprehensive AIDS awareness,” so experts lack sufficient data to draw a conclusion about South African AIDS awareness. But if safe sex practices indicate young adults’ AIDS awareness, South African public health officials have cause for alarm. Among young men aged 18 to 24, only a small portion regularly practice safe sex and only 16% of young women in that age group take precautions against HIV/AIDS. Educators and public health officials must increase their efforts to promote AIDS awareness among South Africans.

Health care workers are most at risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. As such any company whether it is a private clinic, hospital, practice or industry related company needs to inform workers through AIDS awareness programs. Not only topics such as how the virus is contracted or how to prevent contraction should be dealt with, but also how to live with HIV/AIDS and how to deal with family, friends or colleagues who have contracted the virus. It is a fact of modern day society and by ignoring the problem, it will get worse. AIDS awareness programs especially for any worker that takes care of the health of others, should be in place. The problem is that most companies don’t know where to start or how to approach the topic. Triple –e is the ideal company to help you implement AIDS awareness programs in your company. Greater understanding of the problem and fears are addressed in addition to providing important information on how to live and work productively if a person has HIV/AIDS.

ABET has grown from the goals of church groups, communities and schools to develop Adult Basic Education and Training programs to address the illiteracy and lack of essential numeracy as well as life skills which plague the South African economy. Many of the persons needing ABET are older women in rural areas. The women are informed and have skills to share, but their lack of literacy hinders their ability to contribute to society. Through ABET programs, the women can be taught essential skills which they can apply in community projects such as AIDS awareness programs and at charity organizations where they can help to uplift the poor citizens of the country. Companies often look at areas where they can contribute regarding social responsibility. By enrolling employees and helping to facilitate ABET programs also at rural areas, companies will be give an enormous gift back to society and their workforce. Contact us to enroll or sponsor enrollment of people in one of our ABET programs.

There are various types of life skills training courses. One of the essential life skills training courses entail AIDS awareness. This includes background on how AIDS is transmitted, what steps to take to prevent transmission, how to handle infection, and where to get help. AIDS is not a problem that can be ignored and with so many people already infected, employers must take steps to empower employees with knowledge through life skills training programs. Steps such as hygiene, diet, lifestyle choices and more are also addressed. Rather than having an unproductive workforce and high costs because employees are infected and don’t know how to live with it, make a positive contribution towards fighting the effects of AIDS through life skills training programs for your employees.
