This paper discusses the development and implementation of an AIDS prevention program in a non-urban area. A non-urban area provides challenges, issues and barriers not found in a large urban area. Characteristics of smaller centre residents, their attitudes and values will shape their response to HIV/AIDS issues. To facilitate HIV service delivery and program implementation, a variety of strategies to facilitate "ownership" are required to create a supportive, caring environment for families affected or infected by AIDS within small community settings.
本文讨论了在非城市地区开展艾滋病预防项目的发展与实施情况。非城市地区存在一些大城市地区所没有的挑战、问题和障碍。较小社区居民的特点、他们的态度和价值观将塑造他们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病问题的应对方式。为了促进艾滋病毒服务的提供和项目的实施,需要采取各种策略来促进“自主参与”,以便在小型社区环境中为受艾滋病影响或感染艾滋病的家庭营造一个支持性、关爱的环境。
