Book excerpt: NPIN 20175: This monograph is the report of a task force meeting convened to provide advice to private voluntary organizations (PVOs) that wish to include HIV/AIDS prevention activities in their child survival projects. Discussions regarding the relationships between child survival and HIV/AIDS prevention are summarized. Four key questions asked by field staff about including HIV/AIDS prevention activities were: how are interventions that respond to HIV/AIDS similar to and different from those used for child survival, how should staff decide to include or not include an intervention for HIV/AIDS prevention in a child survival project, how should staff determine the basic strategies and the community groups to include in these interventions, and which indicators provide the most useful measures of progress and success. The four questions are answered in detail followed by a general summary and conclusions.
