Free, Research-Based, Culturally Appropriate, HIV/AIDS Education Animated Tutorials.

Founded at the Stanford University School of Education, TeachAIDS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that works to address and overcome the social and cultural challenges related to HIV/AIDS prevention education. Diseases such as HIV/AIDS that are transmitted sexually present significant challenges because social stigma often precludes open discussion.

TeachAIDS utilizes a rigorous research-based process to develop medically accurate, culturally tailored HIV/AIDS educational animations. To minimize stigma associated with discussing sexual practices, they combine biological aspects of HIV/AIDS with cultural euphemisms and utilize animated agents to maximize comfort and efficacy. In partnership with national and international organizations, and incorporating the voices of global cultural icons, TeachAIDS disseminates free animated curricula to educators around the world.

TeachAIDS materials have been tested with tremendous success in numerous developing regions and are currently used in more than 25 countries, including South Africa, China, Canada, Botswana, India, and the United States. All TeachAIDS animated works are available for free through this website.
