The involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS in community-based prevention, care and support programs in developing countries

A multi-country diagnostic study

The involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS: A multi-country diagnostic study (English) 2.28Mb
There has been growing recognition of the importance of involving people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) in delivering prevention, care and support services in developing countries, but there has been little research into the impact of this involvement – on PLHA themselves, on others affected by HIV/AIDS, and on NGOs.

This report provides an overview of a study carried out between 1998 and 2001 by the Alliance in collaboration with Horizons, looking at how NGOs have involved PLHA in their response activities. The research focused on 17 NGOs carrying out HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support in four countries: Burkina Faso, Ecuador, India and Zambia. This publication sets out the methods used in the study, gives the context of HIV/AIDS in the four countries studied, and looks at what ‘meaningful’ involvement is, and factors limiting and enhancing PLHA involvement in HIV/AIDS work.
