Culture, HIV and AIDS

Quick link to this page: www.unesco.org/culture/aids

UNESCO's work on culture and HIV & AIDS concentrates on two main lines of action:

• The promotion of socio-cultural approaches throughout HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, support and care strategies and programmes in order to effectively meet the needs of different communities; and



• The promotion of arts and creativity within the development and implementation of culturally appropriate responses to HIV and AIDS.

Both components are pursued through action-oriented research, training, capacity building and the development of a wide range of resources and tools.
