MAY 2009 — Helping My Child Stay Healthy, produced by FHI/Cambodia through the PRASIT program, provides information on the special needs of HIV-positive children and suggests ways to involve them in their own care. In addition to guidance for caregivers, the book also has practical suggestions for health-facility and home-based care teams who work with children (regardless of HIV status). Helping My Child Stay Healthy gives suggestions on how to talk to children about HIV, support them on antiretroviral therapy, and provide support on general health and prevention of opportunistic infections. Finally, the book outlines ways caregivers themselves can stay healthy.
