Todd Fogel is an award-winning educator in the field of HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention. After losing a life partner to AIDS, Todd wrote and developed an interactive instructional curriculum, entitled, HIV/AIDS Awareness and Prevention, Using The AIDS Memorial Quilt as a Learning Tool.
Endorsed by The NAMES Project Foundation, The AIDS Memorial Quilt, Todd's presentation utilizes The AIDS Memorial Quilt as a visual learning tool, in place of the traditional textbook, in order to start the dialogue.
The Quilt offers a unique way to reach people with the message of HIV prevention. “Seeing The Quilt creates a ‘teachable moment’, when young people are receptive to information that can save their lives”.
This open-forum style, learning situation is designed to encourage students to discuss issues and ask questions concerning HIV transmission and AIDS prevention.
"Your heartfelt and touching presentation generated days of discussion amongst my friends: each student was touched by your personal story and seeing pieces of the Quilt brought HIV/AIDS closer to us and made it not just a disease, but a part of life." - Marcus, 20
This upbeat seminar is more diverse than just HIV/AIDS.
It includes discussions on:
- Self-esteem issues
- The ability to say ”No”
- Care and compassion issues
- Talking to peers and parents

"It forces students who heard you lecture on HIV, protection, and responsibility to ponder their own actions and choices they will be forced to make in the future. It is a lesson they will not soon forget."

"Emphasizing the use of the word "NO" and "think twice before you trust someone, when it comes to your sexual health and safety weighed heavy on my mind that it prompted me to talk to my parents for the first time about the HIV/AIDS and other concerns that I had, thank you."
