Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
As long as there is no cure for AIDS, the only effective means of containing its spread is prevention, primarily through public education. Cuba's AIDS Prevention Group is a community-based organization whose main purpose is to support the National HIV/AIDS Program's prevention and education efforts. The Group's Memorias Project uses the creation and display of memorial quilts to put a human face on AIDS statistics and stimulate public reflection on issues related to the disease and society. KEYWORDS HIV; AIDS; primary prevention; education; awareness; health knowledge, attitudes, practice; social marketing; AIDS Memorial Quilt, Cuba. |
