Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 Dear Forum members, LAUNCH OF DEDICATED PHONE LINE FOR HIV/SEXUALITY RELATED ISSUES: With the slogan YOU ARE NOT ALONE, AASRA will be addressing the 900+ hidden positive people in Patna in a huge sensitisation exercise to be held on International AIDS Candlelight memorial Day. On May 20, AASRA will announce its helpline for Hiv positive people called LIVEAID. It will function initially for 12 hours, run entirely by volunteers. The FIRST counselling service of its kind in the city. AASRA Patna will also formally announce its crisis management and home management of HIV programme. Through LIVEAID, besides pre and post test counselling, AASRA will now help families of HIV positive people to manage health problems at home as far as practicable and aid those in need within Patna and suburbs to access retrovirals. This will be the first activity of its kind. AASRA will actively network with such reputed centres as Sen Diagnostics and Kurji Holy Family Hospital in a continuing effort to orient and train youth out of the school system on Hiv prevention and management. AASRA continues to be funded largely through small amount subscriptions from its well-wishers, as well as generous gifts in kind from friends and supportive institutions.
