- W2304354610 abstract "In 1989 the author participated in an AIDS campaign in Tanzania in the Tanga region containing 527 villages and a population of 1283636 in 1988. By January 1991 there had been 1100 AIDS cases reported in the region. An average of 8% of blood donors were seropositive without knowing about it because the practice of informing them was not yet established. The goals of the AIDS program were the following: to disseminate to the population general information on AIDS and HIV; to train health personnel; to attempt to change the prevailing sexual behavior; to obtain the support of politicians religious leaders and civil servants; to counsel risk groups especially prostitutes on the prevention of infection and transmitting infection; and to instruct medicine men and women and local birth assistants who deliver 60-90% of infants at home in order to actively engage them in the campaign. The collaboration was tried out in the Pangani district by instructing 180 birth assistants and 250 medicine men and women using role playing and team work. 1-week seminars were held for district and village leaders and religious leaders on AIDS malaria tuberculosis gastrointestinal infections general hygiene respiratory infections skin infections and most frequent childhood diseases using role playing group discussions and pamphlets. These efforts produced increased knowledge about HIV and AIDS changed sexual behavior towards having fewer partners increased condom use among the young and the assistance of AIDS patients in their villages after proper training of health personnel. There was a medicine man who helped a large number of AIDS patients with herbs; this fact was reported to the World Health Organization." @default.
