Resume
Projektet vil sænke hiv-prævalensen blandt mænd, der har sex med mænd (MSM), i Malawi. Gennem ‘peer education’ vil projektet nå 3000 MSM med information om sikker sex og vigtigheden af at blive testet og eventuelt komme i behandling for hiv. Projektet vil træne 100 offentlige sundhedsansatte i MSM-venlig behandling og skabe et system, så MSM’erne kan blive direkte henvist til en sundhedsansat, som de kan være tryg ved. Projektet vil desuden bekæmpe stigma og diskriminaton I samfundet ved at træne religiøse og traditionelle ledere og ændre deres holdninger til MSM og LGBT-personer generelt.
