The Positive Self-Management Program will not conflict with existing programmes or
treatment and is designed to enhance regular treatment and HIV-specific education.
The programme gives those living with HIV the skills to coordinate all the things
needed to manage their health, as well as to help them keep active in their lives.
Classes are highly participative, where mutual support and success build the
participant's confidence in their ability to manage their health and maintain active
and fulfilling lives. The workshops are facilitated by two trained leaders, one or
both of whom are non-health professionals with HIV.
Subjects covered include:
- Techniques to deal with problems such as frustration, fear, fatigue,
pain and isolation.
- Appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength, flexibility, and endurance.
- Communicating effectively with family, friends, and health professionals.
- Nutrition.
- Evaluating symptoms.
- Advanced directives.
- How to evaluate new or alternative treatments.
- How to best integrate medication regimens into daily life so they can be taken consistently.
