 AB    OBJECTIVE: The salvation Army oversees and operates a number of housing
       centers in Paris. It works for the extremely vulnerable. The program
       described involved 375 residents of housing centers and 100 employees.
       The thrust of the project was to provide access to prevention,
       assistance and care adapted to the needs of the HIV positive who are
       especially vulnerable and socially ostracized. DESCRIPTION: The six
       essential points of the joint ARCAT-SIDA--Salvation Army project are
       listed below: install condom vending machines, increase the awareness of
       Salvation Army professionals, hold awareness sessions for residents,
       train Salvation Army professionals, host regular events to create a
       sense of active involvement, provide 24 hours service for residents
       adapted to their personal needs. CONCLUSION: On the professional side,
       the sessions were proof of their concern about AIDS and a sign of their
       willingness to work with HIV positive (for structural reasons, it was
       not possible to work with people with full-blown AIDS). This said, a
       number of persistent worries caused some to be either overly protective
       and paternalistic with an intermingling of a feeling of helplessness, or
       to pull back and request that they be informed of the serological status
       of those concerned, thereby stigmatizing those people.
