Development action with informed and engaged societies
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

SummaryText
Published by the British Columbia Persons with AIDS Society (BCPWA), this 94-page publication is in its 3rd edition and intends to offer a range of information about living with HIV/AIDS, the basics for newly diagnosed, treatment information, lifestyle choices, advocacy issues, risk reduction tips, end-of-life planning and community resources.

Excerpts from the Introduction
The Positive Living Manual is designed as a step-by-step guide to a range of information about having HIV or AIDS. This manual is a resource intended to help you make informed decisions about your HIV status. It covers everything from health and treatment information to dealing with specific situations that may arise. Maybe you are concerned about human rights issues. Maybe you are worried about telling a family member, or maybe you are wondering about your place in the workforce? This manual covers all of these things, and above all, stresses the importance of making your physical, emotional, and spiritual health a priority in order to live positively! Take your time when you read this manual because information on HIV and AIDS can be complicated and overwhelming."
