Relationships: Intimacy Without Risk Facilitator’s Guide [Lesotho]

The program “Relationships: Intimacy without Risk” includes a facilitator’s guide, training manual, and materials to train local Sesotho facilitators to carry out discussion sessions that aim to stimulate deeper dialogue and discussion around relationship issues, such as concurrency and the risks of HIV. There are also videos for group discussion, and movie nights and games for couples.

The first of its kind in Lesotho, this program provides for a series of conversations among groups of adults that relate to HIV/AIDS prevention. During the conversations, participants reflect on how they can improve their relationships and sexual lives without taking on extra lovers.

This Facilitator’s Guide includes sessions on talking about sex, HIV/AIDS facts and myths, sexual networks, communication, behavior change, religion and culture, gender, and couple communication.
