Engaging Men in HIV and AIDS at the Service Delivery Level: A Manual for Service Providers

This is a training manual for service providers working with men. The sessions in the manual teach participants to challenge the bias against engaging men in reproductive health and HIV services at the facility level. The sessions also identify ways to improve the quality of services for male clients and explore ways to market services to men. The activities are intended for use with all service providers, although some adjustments might be required, depending on the country and community context.
