AB OBJECTIVE: Several publications appeared in Russian mass media on the
problem of HIV transmission during the next Goodwill Games to be held in
St. Petersburg in summer 1994. The most radical HIV preventors proposed
to cancel the Games in order to prevent HIV spread and to protect us
(Russians) from epidemic. Several AIDS centers offered to organize
24-hour HIV testing laboratories and AIDS clinics. METHODS: It is
absolutely clear for us that such measures are very costly and
unnecessary. Moreover they neglect international experience that the
successful HIV interventions should stress AIDS awareness and HIV
education rather than AIDS fearmongering. So the Pasteur Institute
together with the International AIDS Project have proposed and begun to
realize very different plan of action. RESULTS: Our programme focuses on
promoting AIDS awareness through public information and education as
well as promoting of safe sex. Different materials on HIV/AIDS and safe
sex will be produced and distributed before and during the games.
Special attention will be paid to condoms. CONCLUSION: The realization
of our programme will help to promote not HIV but AIDS awareness during
the 1994 Games.
