       METHOD: Six fortnightly sessions of group counselling was conducted to
       20 male & 20 female PWHIVs and PWAs. Positive living discussions
       included re-infection, safer sex methods, alcohol reduction, physical
       exercises, diet, legal issues etc RESULT: 5/40 PWAs went public, 10/40
       PWAs stopped drinking alcohol, 18/40 PWAs though single practised safer
       sex, 17/40 returned to their active employment. CONCLUSION: Alot of ASOs
