AB INTRODUCTION: The Body Builders (youth) of Madras was recognised as an
interest group for AIDS prevention by us. OBJECTIVE: 1) We will be able
to plan and implement an AIDS prevention intervention programme with the
body builders. 2) There will be greater participation by the body
builders in every stage of this project. METHODOLOGY: 1) Knowledge,
Attitude, Behaviour survey using Random sampling. 2) Series of
interactive group discussions aimed at eluciting information regarding
perception of personal/group vulnerability of STD/HIV/AIDS by peers. A
body building competition was also conducted to bring about a conductive
atmosphere. LESSONS LEARNT: 1) Sex & Sexuality is taboo for discussion.
2) Involvement of peers reduces this inhibition. 3) Addressing other
felt needs like nutrition & steroid use enhances community faith.
