 AB    ISSUE: HIV seroprevalence is highest among Africans because of the high
       prevalence of HIV among refugees from Sub-Saharan Africa AIM: To prevent
       HIV transmission. METHOD: Culturally appropriate approach to target
       group. LESSONS LEARNED: By providing facts in a non-judgmental format,
       we have reduced some fears and myths about HIV/AIDS. Our target group
       was able to personalize AIDS issues. Individual fears and anger were
       turned into positive action for a fight against the epidemic. Diverse
       socio-economical issues had to be dealt with before sex/sexuality and
       STD prevention communication could begin. PWAs are an invaluable
       resource in AIDS work. Continuous and consistent interaction between the
       target group and our organisation is crucial for successful and
       sustainable information and education programme.
