1. Organization and community description/context |
The trainees will be based in Vietnam northern province of Ha Noi. It will be facilitated and provided by G-Link. The G-Link is a community-based organization that was established by Lê Minh Thành, a trained community health worker (Glink Ha Noi, 2019). The main objective for this training event is to provide and improve HIV/AIDS testing services in close proximity to the community, especially in most vulnerable segments. This training event will cover communication skills and counseling, which are critical in enhancing the awareness creation and testing of HIV/AIDS. Background Information: Vietnam is a country that has, for a long time, been classified as a developing country. However, it has experienced healthcare problems as it has been transitioning to one of the fastest-growing economies. The country has a population of about 97 million, and 8.4% of the population lives below the poverty line (Diem & Van Hoang, 2018). Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) in Vietnam, in association with the government, are advocating for HIV lay testing and self-testing as a way of reducing HIV new infections. Residents in the rural provinces in northern Vietnam, especially the LGBT+ community, are stigmatized and hence often shy away from seeking HIV testing services from the health facilities. These residents are vulnerable to HIV/AIDS due to risky sexual behaviors, including unprotected sex and illicit drug use. The silence by the LGBT+ community in rural areas has exposed many to the risk of HIV/AIDS as there is little knowledge on the prevention and management of the disease. |
2. Problem/training need statement |
Communities living in areas with few HIV testing centers are faced with challenges, especially of lacking the necessary care when HIV positive. This is especially when the issues cannot be openly talked about due to the cultural challenges. This leaves many people exposed to the risk of infection due to ignorance (Bui et al., 2018). Community Health Workers (CHWs) and Social Workers (SWs) provide essential services directly to the communities where hospitals and health facilities are not able to reach. Therefore, this training program aims targeting up to ten teams (consisting of 2-3 members/team) of CHWs/CWs, which will be based in the northern province of Ha Noi for awareness creation, testing, preventive measures and control of HIV/AIDS. The trainees will be educated on the proper testing methods to be utilized as well as counseling residents living with HIV/AIDS. The training event will also focus on the prevention of new infections through establishment of proper preventive measures, i.e. efforts to ensure those who are involved in high risk sexual behaviors use HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) pills. After the successful completion of training, trainees will be encouraged with initiatives to create awareness, reduce stigmatization and support people living with HIV/AIDS and the preventive strategies that can be applied at the community level, since every individual in these communities is considered highly vulnerable to the disease. |
