This guide, published by Pathfinder International, provides a comprehensive training course for community health workers involved in community home-based care (CHBC) for people and communities affected by HIV and AIDS. In this guide, the authors focus on the knowledge and skills necessary for providing holistic CHBC for people living with HIV and AIDS, transferring knowledge and skills to caregivers and CHBC clients, and mobilising communities around HIV and AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and support.
Using simple language and placing emphasis on participatory learning methodologies that do not require high literacy levels of participants, this guide includes 19 comprehensive units.

This curriculum, draws on the experience of Pathfinder International and presents a model of CHBC that emphasises community mobilisation for prevention as well as participation in care and support for those affected by HIV and AIDS. The global model for CHBC provided in this manual can be adapted into local contexts as needed.
