AB OBJECTIVES: This project is aimed to provide support and assistance to
the actions of self-help developed within the Program of Support to
Self-help, in order to cover the demand of meals, psychological and
social assistance and of information of people living with HIV/AIDS and
persons closely involved, such as families, lovers and friends.
METHODOLOGY: The project, a joint proposal made by PROSA and the
Movement Homosexual of Lima, is divided into four components: Meals;
Buddy sistem; Legal assistance and counselling services; Informational
materials. Working teams were prepared to direct the services combining
professional and non professional work on a volunteer basis (20
volunteers and three profesionals). RESULTS: Seropositive persons and
persons closely involved are working together, their work covers an
important amount of the demand in meals: 6,000 rations; psychological
and social assistance (10 people with AIDS benefited with the buddy
sistem); 30 people in socio-legal counselling; 1,000 booklets about
nutrition and sexuality have been distributed. CONCLUSIONS: Within the
frame work of the self-help, support services can be more than just
assistential and turn into a more efective promotion of the capacities
of people with HIV/AIDS and persons closely involved in order to give
services aimed to preserve them health, as well as an efective channel
to integrate all the self-help groups working in Lima.
