Building capacity in prevention of HIV and AI among youth at risk
The project explicitly addressed the area of HIV prevention among youth at risk of getting HIV and AI in mapping best practices, disseminating them, and training professionals in Northwest Russia. Workshops, research, training and a publication were implemented in Northern Europe, including the Northwestern Federal District of the Russian Federation.
Needs of children and young people at high risk of getting HIV and AI in Northwest Russia and other countries in Northern Europe were mapped out. Best practices on HIV prevention among children and young at high risk of getting HIV and AI, which could be spread in the region, were identified. Professionals working with children and young people at high risk of getting HIV and AI were trained in prevention of HIV and AI. Best practices on HIV and AI prevention among children and young people at high risk of getting HIV and AI were piloted in Northwest Russia, and guidelines for decision-makers and stakeholders working with children and young people at high risk of getting HIV and AI were developed.
