TeachAIDS (pronounced /ˌtiːtʃˈeɪdz/) is a nonprofit social enterprise that develops global HIV prevention education technology products, based on an approach invented through research at Stanford University.
The TeachAIDS software has been cited as a model health intervention. Since the materials bypass issues of stigma, they allow HIV prevention education to be provided to communities where it has previously not been allowed. In other communities, the tutorials provide the highest learning effects and comfort rates of any tested educational approach.
The TeachAIDS products are animated, interactive software tutorials, developed for individual cultures and languages, and incorporating the voices of celebrities from each region. In India, these include national icons such as Amitabh Bachchan,Shabana Azmi, and Akkineni Nagarjuna.Sudeep.In Botswana, they include musicians Scar, Zeus, and former President of Botswana, Festus Mogae.
