COMMENT: Based on discussions in the AIDS in Africa Conference, one finding of the circumcision study was a higher correlation between HIV-positives and uncircumcised males. COMMENT: In many countries those who are circumcised are usually Moslems, who have a culturally different sexual behaviour patterns. This needs to be taken into account. COMMENT: In Thailand, RAP was used to look at the injectionists. Those who were exposed to injectionists had a much higher frequency of hepatitis B. COMMENT: In an early study in Africa, many children with AIDS who were under five who did not have perinatal transmissions had 40 or more injections in the year prior to having contracted AIDS. COMMENT: There is the need to create the awareness of the potential of RAP as a method in the prevention of AIDS. It took five days to convince a group in Nairobi of the possibility that RAP could be useful. It is important to use RAP on all three legs of the triad, service delivery, IEC, and the community. You should use RAP to iron out issues even in emergency situations. COMMENT: We need to ask about research priorities in countries where AIDS prevalence is very low. We need to understand how people perceive the problem of HIV and what they know about the risk. Irrespective of the magnitude of the problem there will continue to be a need for behavioural research at least to assess the efficacy of the approach. The RAP concept is suitable for an emergency situation. COMMENT: It is important to look at the larger community in which AIDS exists and understanding of those who do not have AIDS. COMMENT: In the Latina study, research shows that unless women know somebody who has AIDS they do not think that this problem affects them or their family. COMMENT: Save the Children has been using RAP techniques without calling it as such. There is a curriculum being used in some African countries that is useful for allowing families, particularly fathers to teach their children how to protect themselves from AIDS. There is a need to teach facts, skills, and attitudes. We see all types of development workers as trainers. They bring into the workshop as much information as possible and they work together to become trainers of others. Save the Children believes that every development worker and every professional should be capable of training in AIDS prevention if the epidemic is to be controlled. COMMENT: There is a cultural perception of life and death and of the risk taker and risk avoider. Pleasure from drugs and sex are seen in terms of the present, but death and disease are seen far in the future. It is important to use RAP to explore this in the AIDS context. |
