AB OBJECTIVES: The community response to HIV and AIDS in developing
countries plays a critical role in alleviating the social, psychological
and financial consequences of the disease on individuals, their
partners, friends and families. The Social and Behavioural Studies and
Support Unit of WHO/GPA has recently initiated a major two year research
programme to examine patterns of household and community responses in
developing country sites with a view to identifying the determinants of
different kinds of response. METHODS: A variety of qualitative research
techniques are being employed in the studies, including individual and
household interviews, focus groups and participant observation. In two
sites, India and Tanzania, an initial rapid assessment has been
completed utilizing these data collection methods. RESULTS: This
presentation reports on the form taken by both positive and negative
responses in each of the above locations. Positive responses include
those whereby education for prevention occurs, and whereby care and
support are offered to those infected. More negative responses include
stigmatization, ostracization, discrimination and vilification. The
contexts within which these different kinds of responses occur will be
described, along with an indication of their likely determinants. The
intervention implications of this research are highlighted with special
emphasis on health education, counselling, care and community support.
