Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Dear friends, This message Re: CPM Forced to close an HIV prevention proejct in Kerala. The incident calls for a wider debate and dialogue between various actors in the field of HIV / AIDS prevention, and political activists. Currently there are 40 interventions (covering 95 locations / groups) across Kerala, addressing various vulnerable communities including commercial sex workers, men who have sex with men, prison inmates etc. Partnerships for Sexual Health (PSH) project has been sponsored by the Department for International Development, India office through the National AIDS Control Organisation and the Kerala State AIDS Control Society. The PANTECH project, as in the case of several other interventions faced problems from certain groups and hence they have moved their office to a new location. Recently there was a meting of the general body of the organisation which has taken a decision to strengthen the advocacy work and AIDS prevention activities of course, without the help of public and activists, HIV / AIDS prevention activities can not attain the desired objectives. There were also a few articles appeared in other news- papers supporting the interventions and related to unfounded public suspicion about HIV / AIDS prevention in the state. And, we need your support.
