 AB    INTRODUCTION: Peer educators in counselling activities is one of the
       priority of our counselling program. OBJECTIVES: To train HIV positive
       persons to: exercise mutual support, reduce the negative impact of AIDS;
       assist other infected persons to lead a positive life. METHODS: Five HIV
       positive persons received an individual training in counselling. Within
       a ten month period they have been working with our counselling unit.
       RESULTS: After an individual training, three of the five HIV positive
       persons are really active. We have noticed an improvement of the care
       given to AIDS patients in the families followed by those HIV positive
       counsellors. CONCLUSION: We want to extend this experience in our
       counselling program.
