• Also known as our “POZ” program presentations, these presentations are facilitated by someone living with or affected by HIV; They tell their personal story while weaving in prevention messages and some basic facts about HIV and AIDS.
• Presentations are designed to be interactive and may include written and oral information;
• Speakers are trained in age-appropriate presentation techniques.

 Our Speakers in the Schools program has been providing HIV-positive speaker presentations in Lane County for over ten years. Their compelling presentations tell the story of their lives before, during, and after their diagnosis. The presentations are designed to increase compassion for people living with HIV/AIDS, address the complex reasons people are at risk for HIV, and inform students about the importance of harm reduction and prevention services. Speakers are also trained to answer questions and provide information about HIV transmission, risk assessment, and safer-sex techniques. The presentations are between 1-1.5 hours.
