Walsingham HIV Education Program, 2005
Scope and Contents
This accession consists of material related to Larry Griffith's experience providing HIV/AIDS awareness education to middle-school, high school and college-age students in the Williamsburg area. Materials include transcripts of his remarks, student feedback, articles about side-effects of HIV medication, interview questions for one of Larry's doctors, and correspondence. Larry provided a statement and inventory describing the materials,
"An Proposed Addendum to the Griffith Papers Reflecting Mr. Griffith's efforts at HIV/AIDS awareness and Safe-sex Advocacy" An excerpt of this statement reads:
"It is not only for vain glory that I've left these HIV Awareness/Safe-sex materials to Swem. For me, they represent a variety of purposes. Firstly, it might help future students to become aware of the great anguish that befell all those in the AIDS community, not only those with AIDS, but their family, their loved one, their healthcare workers, and their advocates. Secondly, these materials represent fact-based data that forms the basis for effective safe-sex and AIDS awareness education.
From modes of transmission to modes of safer-sex , to data on the life cycle of HIV, all data presented is correct, in accordance with CDC guidelines, and is as relevant today as they were at the time, ca. early 1990's. Thirdly, I hope these materials might serve as historical, raw data for a studies in public policy, or for a local/WM-alum history of HIV awareness education, a source of data, in essence."
