AB OBJECTIVES: To review the role and activities of Positive and Living
Squad (PALS) group of persons living with AIDS at Kara Counselling and
Training Trust between August 1991 and August 1992. METHODS:
Interpersonal Discussion and Review of Activity and progress reports.
RESULTS: a) Involvement and participation of PLWAs in AIDS activities is
necessary--it gives a human face to the mystic nature of HIV/AIDS. b)
Over one hundred organisations and 15000 persons reached through focused
and systematically sustainable community education interventions. c)
PLWAs play a leading role in the process of destigmatization of AIDS at
community level. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION: The subjects' efforts are not
only remarkable but challenging too. This shows that there is a need for
more persons with HIV/AIDS to come out in the open and take a leading
role in activities for AIDS prevention. The cardinal question though is
how to facilitate this process of change.
