AB OBJECTIVE: To develop a strategy to promote the decentralization of the
efforts to provide information in different cities of the country.
METHODS: VIA LIBRE, an NGO with four years of experience working in
STD/HIV prevention has a successful program of information for the
general population in the capital of the country. This program,
initially supported by World Health Organization provide information
through posters, videos, and peer education using pavilions moving from
neighborhood to neighborhood. With support of different enterprises and
the government this program was moved to southern Peru. Training courses
for health care workers about HIV diagnosis and treatment, and
counseling were done in all the cities. RESULTS: Seventy five private
enterprises gave financial support to start-up the program to provide
information in three cities in southern Peru (Arequipa, Tacna,
Mollendo). A total of 135,000 people received motivational information
through the program. One hundred seventy six health care workers were
trained in HIV diagnosis, treatment and biosafety. Eighty-six people
were trained in counseling. Health care workers from Chile came to Tacna
(the border city in Peru) to attend the courses. One hundred and twenty
five teachers attended information workshops. Mass media (radio, TV)
from all the region supported the campaign. Motivated people from the
community were identified to be organized in community-base
organizations. CONCLUSION: Only a join effort among NGOs, private
enterprises and the government will allow a greater impact in the
prevention of the AIDS epidemic. This is the first effort in the country
to start-up a multisectorial information campaign.
