  • Title: HIV and refugees.
    Journal: AIDS Action; 1999; (44):7. PubMed ID: 12349238.
    Abstract:
    The CARE International HIV prevention project with Rwandan refugees in the Benaco refugee camp, Tanzania, is recognized as a successful model for early HIV prevention and care in emergency settings. The project's activities include: 1) involving political and religious leaders; 2) coordinating activities with other organizations in the camp; 3) setting up a network of AIDS community educators and condom distribution points; 4) providing nursing care for people with AIDS in their camp "home"; 5) holding mass education activities; and 6) encouraging rape victims to get medical care and counseling. These intervention activities were initiated through weekly sporting events, income-generating activities for women, and Adolescent Health Days during which adolescents visited health clinics.
