AB OBJECTIVE: To develop, implement and evaluate an educative intervention
focused on increasing awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS, as well as
skills in communication in a rural community (10,000 inhabitants).
METHODS: Our National Centre collaborated with the NGO Princess Margaret
Foundation in Romania in organising the training of the medical staff
with the pilot dispensary, the teachers and the students in the 3
schools in a village. Students were also selected as leaders for peer
education. RESULTS: Inovative educational interventions ensure high
level of retention of HIV/AIDS messages. Community bonding has also been
achieved. About 200 trainers and group leaders are already functioning
and 3,500 young people have been reached by the educational program. An
increase in using condoms was noticed. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: When
evaluating the results there was noticed that used methods are suitable
to a rural population. The adaptable nature of the model has enabled it
to be made appropriate for differing local situations in Romania and
abroad.
