AIDS prevention programs in a smaller community.
This paper discusses the development and implementation of an AIDS prevention program in a non-urban area. A non-urban area provides challenges, issues and barriers not found in a large urban area. Characteristics of smaller centre residents, their attitudes and values will shape their response to HIV/AIDS issues. To facilitate HIV service delivery and program implementation, a variety of strategies to facilitate "ownership" are required to create a supportive, caring environment for families affected or infected by AIDS within small community settings.
