AB OBJECTIVE: To conduct innovative and interactive activities islandwide
aimed at promoting safe sex. METHODS: Sixty (60) multi-disciplinary
volunteers were trained to carry out innovative and culturally accepted
strategies targeting those at high risk for HIV/STD and hard to reach
groups, in order to reinforce media campaign messages and establish
condom use as a norm. A monitoring report is completed after each
session. RESULTS: A variety of learning exercises have been developed
including condom demonstrations, role play, drama and games: risk wheel,
pin the condom on the penis, condom race, condom cards and handshake.
After one year 109,925 persons have been reached through 3,820 sessions
with interpersonal strategies in traditional and non-traditional
settings. The number of persons at sessions carrying condoms have
increased from 3% to 25%. Condom skill as measured by dildo
demonstrations has increased by 50%. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The
programme made some impact. However, in order to reach more people,
selected resource persons within organizations are being trained, so
that they can in turn train their community and outreach workers, using
these strategies.
