AB Even with the low reported number of HIV/AIDS cases in Russia, the
government agencies often are unable to ensure adequate health education
and psychological support for people with HIV/AIDS and their families.
From the moment a person is found HIV-positive and thoughout the course
of the infection they are left to fend for themselves and to find out
vital health information from other HIV-positive people. Doctors are
often reluctant to explain the meaning of test results or to discuss
treatment options with the patients. A series of 30 in-depth interviews
were held with HIV-positive individuals at various stages of infection
to determine their information and educational needs. A number of
specifically targeted educational brochures were developed on the basis
of this evaluation. The brochures were pre-tested with focus groups of
HIV-positive individuals and workshops were held with medical staff of
HIV-testing sites and AIDS clinic to encourage them to use the brochures
in educating their patients.
