The message of Positive Living with HIV/AIDS is very much based on the Personal Development curriculum presented in Papua New Guinea schools from upper primary to grade 12.
The key focus is on FAMILY with the needs, rights and responsibilities of family members. Children are given skills and values to help them care for family members and become positive spouses as they mature with children to raise to adulthood.
Girls learn to help their mothers with small children and carry out housework as they would do as they grow up. Boys learn skills from their fathers and uncles.
Girls learn to choose a loving husband to bring home to meet and be accepted by family. So too boys learn to choose a young woman to become a loving spouse in support of the families of children, adults, aged parents and disabled family members.
Students learn of the importance of health through strong nutrition, exercise and clean water. They learn of the dangers of HIV infection, cancer and diabetes two. They learn the dangers of AIDS without ART medication.
Girls learn to go straight to the hospital within 72 hours of rape. Women learn of the importance of HIV testing on their becoming pregnant.
There is little focus on FAMILY in the National HIV/AIDS campaign as laid down by foreign advisors. The role has to be taken up by churches, care groups and schools.
There are no hidden agendas on FAMILY among the teachers of this country. Most are married with children and seek to pass practical living skills to students.
Gay and lesbian marriage is not a key issue in Papua New Guinea to be promoted in schools. It is a matter for citizens and parliament to decide on not foreign activists.
