Request for Information: HIV positive children

[Guest guest]

Request for information: HIV positive children

As part of ActionAid's forthcoming work on HIV/AIDS and education, I am

researching a piece on the education of children living with HIV. Very broadly,

I am examining whether country policies exist that protect the educational

rights of HIV positive children. What challenges exist for teachers and

schools in meeting the needs of these children? What difficulties are HIV

positive children facing in schools? Are they are fully integrated into schools,

or do they suffer exclusion and discrimination?

The study will focus on Thailand and Britain. However, it will also draw cases

studies from a number of other countries.

I would be very grateful for any assistance in this work - welcoming any

information about NGOs that deal with this issue, literature on the subject, or

case studies on HIV+ children and their place in the education system.

Regards,
