AB OBJECTIVES: Expand the access to information about HIV/AIDS. Make
available and invite the gay population for activities like safer sex
workshops and video presentations. Provide information about STD
clinics. Involve commercial establishments with gay clientele in the
fight against the epidemic. METHODOLOGY: Through a survey and networking
gay sites, 9 discos, 3 bars and 2 beaches where selected acording to
their strategic location. A group of 10 trained outreach workers makes
weekly visits to these sites in order to publicize the project, to give
information and talk with the customers. RESULTS: In 5 months of work,
146 intervention actions had taken place. 75,524 educational panflets
were distributed. We could observe an increasing participation in safer
sex workshops, more demand for information leaflets and a growing number
of gay sites interested in the project. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The
outreach activities, besides having an impact in spreading information,
encourages more positive attitudes towards STD/HIV/AIDS prevention among
the target population and promotes a stronger involvement of the gay
commercial sites in the fight against HIV/AIDS epidemic.
