peers



i would like to share a tidbit of some ideas i was introduced to in dc last month and am actively helping to bring some formalized and targeted trainings to denver and to colorado as well. in contrast to the environment that exists in large urban gay centers, there is a stigma and a "closeted" aspect to living with hiv in less densely populated areas, as well as with non-gay identified populations.

what is also commonly reported is that the affected populations have evolved to include sub-populations in addition to men who have sex with men. this is hopefully a very directed response to be mindful of these groups as well. the reality of peer based education and support is becoming more widely accepted.
