12 Wednesday, February 24, 1988 / University Daily Kansan AIDS class about victims,not virus By Michael Carolan Kansan staff writer Although AIDS prevention education is increasing, teaching people to deal with AIDS patients, their families and friends might have been lost in a sea of brochures and condoms. Jean Peterson, associate professor of social welfare, wants to make sure that doesn't happen. She will be teaching a course for graduate students in the School of Social Welfare this summer on just that topic: how social workers deal with AIDS patients and families and friends of AIDS victims. Peterson's course, Social Work and AIDS — Implications for Policy and Practice, will be taught at the Regents Center in Overland Park. "There are the courses for prevention of AIDS, and that is really what is needed, but there are also the folks that are dying of AIDS," she said. "We'll be dealing with economic costs to society," Peterson said. "From hospital costs to lost wages to lost government taxes, basically the loss of productive members of society." John Holzhuter, founder of Lawrence AIDS Related Group Orientation, said that there needed to be education for people who were going to deal with AIDS patients and their families. "There are many professionals out there who don't know how to deal with people who have AID, Holtzmer or another refresher." Know that something is being done." An AIDS task force for the National Association for Social Welfare called upon social welfare schools and their continuing education programs to include content on AIDS throughout the curriculum, Peterson said. She said that she had been interested in the topic for a few years and that the NASW recommendations in January gave her more incentive to teach the course.

"In the future, social work dealing with patients is going to be more important because of the increased need for people dealing with AIDS-infected people," he said. Peterson said that because much of the School of Social Welfare's curriculum dealt with vulnerable populations, such as minorities and homosexuals, students in the school would have encountered AIDS-related information before taking her course. "Now, the content is important enough that people need to have the opportunity to learn about it through a specific course." Peterson said. Peterson said that many myths and much misinformation about AIDS existed and that some caused unnecessary fear. "Studies show that people with AIDS are touched by others less," she said. "By not giving someone with AIDS a hug, it adds to the insult of their suffering. Now, the more we know about it, the less those real dehumanizing things have to happen."
