Capacity building - helping communities to talk more frequently and freely about HIV/AIDS.Helping communities to talk more frequently and freely about HIV/AIDS is an important element of capacity building. Lack of knowledge and misinformation on issues relating to HIV/AIDS has lead to the stigmatization of people both infected and affected with AIDS. People have formed certain attitudes about HIV/AIDS and in some spheres those infected and affected are sometimes labelled and isolated. People associate the condition of HIV/AIDS people with certain behaviors they disapprove. In many situations such stigma has left HIV positive children and those orphaned by AIDS without care. Information can help the community dispel all the myths, misconceptions and attitudes that surround the issue of HIV and AIDS in the country. Community dialogue and involvement is essential in fighting the stigma. Children should be important participants in the whole process of raising awareness. Existing community structures like the church, schools and youth clubs should be involved in initiating HIV related dialogues. These structures should be possible channels of information dissemination.
