LESSONS LEARNED (1)
• MSM need CBOs for specific comprehensive prevention and care services
• MSM groups can be easily identified through peers at gay dating locations and gay websites.
• Most CBOs face a lack of knowledge about
MSM prevention and care, and therefore hardly engage in MSM services.
LESSONS LEARNED (2)
• Working “with” and not “for”
• Fight against aids and fight for human right are strongly linked : – Sometimes public health argument is much
more efficient
