HIV/AIDS Prevention Bilingual Glossary

February 21, 2010

Photobucket

For those social workers, educators and all people who have spanish speaking family and friends, the Office of Minority Health has an online English/Spanish dictionary for  HIV prevention. From the mailing:

Here you can find Spanish equivalents to English words and vice versa, rate the translation provided and send comments to help us improve the glossary. You’ll also find the glossary’s tag cloud, featuring the terms that are searched for most frequently.

The goal is to see this glossary provide linguistic support to individuals and organizations working with Spanish-speaking populations in the United States. All the terms are commonly used in the areas of public health and HIV/AIDS prevention.

A cursory glance through the rest of the website has some resources for the queer community, including an essay about bullying for queer youth (including a quote from Tania Unzueta) and resources for HIV prevention education. Curiously, nothing popped up when I searched for the term “abortion.”
