 AB    Women in Russia suffer from an overall lack of information of
       contraception options, STD symptoms, rape, and sexual issues in general.
       Women's clinics which provide gynecological services for most Russian
       women often fail to give them the necessary information in an acceptable
       non-threatening manner. These problems, combined with the current
       economic and social situation, make Russian women especially vulnerable
       for HIV. A comprehensive program was developed containing the following
       elements: Evaluation was conducted using questionnaires to determine the
       level of knowledge about STD/HIV/AIDS and risk perception among women as
       well as among medical personnel in women's clinics. Educational
       brochures were developed on the basis of the evaluation, pre-tested in
       focus groups. Workshops were held for health professionals and for
       activists in the women's movement to train them to use the brochures in
       educating women about STD/HIV/AIDS.
