About the product

The complex factors contributing to the vulnerability to HIV infection require multi-pronged action programmes, targeted at the high-risk groups. One method that has proven effective is the community-based approach. This publication discusses the community-based approach to HIV/AIDS prevention in the Asia and the Pacific region. It focuses on: the health-care system, home-based care, community-based care and hard-to-reach populations such as street children, migrants and intravenous drug users.
