Men's Interventions: HIV/AIDS Peer Education in the Workplace

In Viet Nam, there are few AIDS prevention programs or Behavior Change Communication (BCC) materials targeted toward sexual health and healthy living needs of the general population of men who may be susceptible to HIV infection through their sexual activity or drug use.

The "Workplace Peer Educators", a component of the Men's Intervention project, has trained men to serve as HIV/AIDS peer educators for both men from the local community and temporary migrant workers who are working in the factories. Some women working at the factories also benefit from the HIV/AIDS education and information provided.
