“姐妹同行”共抗艾滋 草根组织与艾滋人群的故事

专家给“姐姐们”开会,通知要在美容院上课。 姐姐安排好时间,请专家去。一般20人至100人左右。请妇科专家或性病学专家。一般半小时。会带上安全套课后分发。 “姐姐”告诉“妹妹”,要采取必要的安全防护措施。 社区助理员经常上美容院找姐妹们聊天,询问防艾常识。 疾控专家来美容院,给姐妹们抽血体检,主要测艾滋病、梅毒和乙肝等。新闻延伸
艾滋病,一个无法回避的话题。据市疾控中心最近的调查显示,近几年艾滋病的防控形势不容乐观。据2008年统计,杭州市的艾滋病病毒感染者男性是女性的5倍多。而性接触是艾滋病传播的主要途径。一些娱乐业、服务业“特殊人群”,成为疾控专家重点关注的高危人群。
怎样才能走近这个特殊人群,让她们愿意听防艾常识,并且愿意接受医生建议采取防护措施,这对白大褂们是很大的挑战。“2005年的时候,我们去美容院问她们有关艾滋病的问题,她们理都不理的,更不要说体检抽血了,能逃都逃的。”下城区疾控中心艾防科科长席胜军说。
四年后的今天,据监测数据显示,下城区数十个服务、娱乐场所的数百名服务人员,艾滋病防治知识知晓率和安全套使用率都达到90%以上。怎么知道安全套使用率达到90%?席科长说了个细节,我们去她们那儿上课,都要带个几十盒。以前塞到她们手里都不要的,现在抢着要,一人一盒还不够分的。
之所以有这么大转变,是因为一个叫“姐妹同行”的俱乐部行动起了催化作用。最近,下城区还被评为国家级示范艾滋病综合防治示范区。这是我省唯一的一个。
专家说,关怀娱乐业、服务业“特殊人群”并非鼓励其行为,“就像交警推广安全带,并不是鼓励开快车一样!”
一个自发形成的防艾民间组织
据下城区疾控中心透露,在近四年对1251名一些娱乐场所特殊服务人员进行的血检中,结果共发现2例艾滋病病毒感染者,梅毒的感染人数则高出十多倍。2007年7月,当时有几家小型娱乐店自发成立一个组织,叫“下城区姐妹行俱乐部”,主动与下城区疾控联系,直接挂靠在下城区疾控中心。这个组织是全省唯一一个针对娱乐场所服务人员的防艾非政府组织。工作宗旨十分明确:防艾,不参与任何与防艾工作无关的活动。通过宣传,动员更多的有爱心人士参与到该防艾队伍中来,在自行开展艾滋病宣传教育的同时,协助区疾控中心开展培训、同伴教育、咨询检测等工作。这个俱乐部在近年来的艾滋病宣传干预中发挥了积极的作用。
刚开始一听讲座扭头就走
后来“姐姐”提醒“妹妹”
在这个“姐妹同行”俱乐部里,目前有辖区40多个成员,都是娱乐场所的“头儿”。她们主动要求成为“姐妹行俱乐部”的志愿者。主动让专业人员走进她们的工作场所,配合进行防艾宣传。在这个俱乐部里,都以“姐妹”相称。
俱乐部的志愿者,一般的年龄相对大一些的称为“姐”,她们的工作就是对年龄较小还不知此行深浅的“妹”进行传帮带。多留一个心眼,多一点提醒。而且还以“滾雪球”的方法,成熟一个发展一个,现在最早的志愿者都已发展10多个志愿者了,大大扩大了宣传队伍。“姐妹行”俱乐部主要做的事有:请防艾专家为志愿者进行系统的防艾知识培训;对今后的防艾工作进行布置;强化高危人群的宣传教育和咨询检测工作。
刚开始的时候,工作并不好做。疾控中心的专家安排培训课,都是到美容院进行的,一般半个小时,听的人有20多个,有时上百人。一开始,见到艾滋病防控专家讲课中拿出安全套示范,很多“姐妹”借故走开或干脆提前离场了,听的人寥寥无几。但是,只要现场还有人,就坚持讲。主要是讲清一个道理,教“姐妹”们如何正确使用安全套。但并不是说,这就承认其行为是合法的。而是从事情的最坏方面充分考虑:两害相衡取其轻。
专家耐心的讲解,两年里渐渐获得了大多数“姐妹”的接纳。越来越多的“姐妹”开始了解艾滋病的常识和正确的防护措施。
现在,该区的小型服务娱乐行业,一开业或有新人进来,就把《娱乐场所女性工作人员保健手册》作为入职前的培训手册;进行防艾知识和妇女保健知识双重培训,预先打上一针防疫针。
社区助理员起了重要的黏合作用
虽然这个姐妹同行俱乐部,其自身对健康的渴望起了最初的原动力,但是在防艾破题之初,包括一直到现在,下城区71个社区的70多位公共卫生助理员也起了重要的黏合作用。
席科长说,早几年,我们去美容院,那些女孩觉得很突然很怕,宣传防艾效果就不理想。后来就发动这些助理员帮我们做工作,效果好很多。助理员相当尽责,有好多位大姐现在和她们都很熟了,也许哪次回家路上就会弯到美容院去坐坐,看看有没有新来的女孩,问问有没有姐妹告诉她相关防艾常识。
席科长说,早五六年前,我们去抽血,配合率有20%就不错了,现在去抽血,基本都很配合。现在俱乐部的志愿者自我防护意识都比较高。虽然这些人的流动性很大,但有了这个俱乐部,防艾宣传就有了自己的基地。
"Sister Company", a total of anti-HIV-AIDS grass-roots organizations and the story of the crowd
November 18, 2009 10:50:29 Zhejiang Online news site
Experts to the "sisters," a meeting notice to beauty school. Sister arranged time, please go to experts. Usually 20 to 100 people. Please gynecological specialist or expert in sexually transmitted diseases. The general half an hour. Will be put on after-school condom distribution. "Sister" tells "sister", to take the necessary safety precautions. Community Assistant and sisters often went to beauty salons to find chat, ask AIDS Prevention common sense. Disease control experts to beauty salons, to the sisters for blood tests, the main measure of AIDS, syphilis and hepatitis B and so on. News extension
AIDS, an unavoidable topic. According to a recent CDC survey of city, in recent years of AIDS prevention and control of the situation is not optimistic. According to 2008 statistics, the Hangzhou men infected with HIV are women's five times more. And sexual contact is the main way of HIV transmission. Some of the entertainment industry, service industry "special groups" as the disease control experts to focus on high-risk groups.
How can I approached this particular crowd of anti-aids so that they would be willing to listen to common sense, and are willing to accept the doctor's advice to take protective measures, which robes are a great challenge. "In 2005, when we go to salon ask them questions about AIDS, their arguments are ignored, not to mention blood examinations, and be able to escape all flee." City under the anti-Chief of CDC Ai Xi Shengjun说.
Four years later, today, according to monitoring data shows that dozens of the next city services, entertainment hundreds of service personnel and AIDS Knowledge in condom usage has reached 90%. How to know condom usage rate reached 90%? I said a chief of the details, we went to school there, they should take a few dozen boxes. Previously stuffed into their hands are not, and now fight to get, one box is not enough points.
The reason why there is such a big change, because one is called "Sister Company" played a catalytic role in the club operations. Recently, the city has also been named the next national demonstration AIDS comprehensive prevention and treatment demonstration areas. This is the only one in our province.
Experts say, care for the entertainment industry, service industry "special population" is not to encourage their behavior, "like traffic police to promote safety belt, not to encourage speeding like!"
A spontaneous anti-aids the formation of non-governmental organizations
Under the city, according to CDC revealed that in 1251 the past four years, a number of entertainment special services personnel of the blood tests, the results were found in two cases of HIV infection, syphilis is the number of infections more than 10 times higher. In July 2007, when there are a few small-scale entertainment initiative to set up shop in an organization called the "line of clubs under the sister city," urban disease control initiative with the next contact CDC directly link it in the next town. This organization is the only one for the province's entertainment service for AIDS Prevention non-governmental organizations. The purpose of work is very clear: AIDS Prevention, AIDS Prevention does not participate in any non-work related activities. Through advocacy, mobilization of more caring people to participate in the AIDS Prevention ranks, in their own publicity and education of AIDS at the same time to assist District CDC training, peer education, counseling and testing and so on. The club in recent years, the AIDS advocacy interventions have played an active role.
Just started listening to lectures turned away and left a
Later, "sister" reminding "sister"
In this "fellow sister" club where there are currently more than 40 members of the area, are places of entertainment, "Boss." They offered to become a "sister-line club" volunteers. Take the initiative to allow professionals into their workplaces, with the conduct of anti-aids publicity. In this club, they both have "sisters" proportionality.
Club volunteers, the average age of a relatively large number of known as "Sister", their job is on the younger ones still do not know the depth of this trip a "sister" to mentoring. To stay an eye and a little more reminder. But also a "snowball" approach, the development of a mature one, and now volunteers have been the earliest development of more than 10 volunteers, and greatly expanded the advocacy team. "Sister-line" club mainly to do with: Please AIDS Prevention experts to volunteer for AIDS Prevention systematic knowledge of training; of the AIDS Prevention for the future work arrangements; strengthening propaganda and education on high-risk groups and counseling and testing.
Beginning when the work is not easy to do. CDC experts in arranging training courses are carried out to the beauty salon, generally half an hour, listening to people over 20, and sometimes hundreds of people. The beginning, to see out of AIDS prevention and control experts to give lectures in condom demonstrations, a lot of "sisters" go away on some pretext or simply ahead of departure, and listen to few people. However, as long as the scene was also, we insist on speaking. Mainly make clear one reason, to teach "sister" were how to properly use a condom. But not to say, this recognition of their behavior is legal. But from the worst aspects of the matter full consideration: the lesser of two evils-phase value.
Expert patient talks, the two years, gradually won the majority of the "sister" accepted. An increasing number of "sister" AIDS is beginning to understand the common sense and proper protective measures.
Now, the area of small-scale service the entertainment industry, an opening or have new people coming in, put the "entertainment female staff health handbook" as a pre-service training manuals; for AIDS Prevention Knowledge and women's health knowledge, the dual training, pre-marked with a needle vaccination needle.
Community assistants played an important role in bonding
Although the sisters peer club, their own desire to health from the initial impetus, but in the beginning of anti-aids essay, including one until now, the next town over 70 communities in 71 health assistants also played an important bonding effect.
Xi chief said that a few years ago, we went to beauty salon, the girl suddenly felt very scared, advocacy of anti-aids results may also be satisfactory. Later, on the launch of these assistants to help us to do the work, the effect much better. Assistant fairly responsible, there are a lot of places and their older sister are now familiar, perhaps it will bend on the road which plays home to a beauty salon to sit and see if there is no new girl, ask if they are not sisters told her that the relevant anti - Ai common sense.
Xi chief said, as early as five or six years ago, we went to a blood sample, with the rate of 20% on the good, and now go to a blood sample, with very basic. Now the club's volunteers have higher self-protection consciousness. Although these people are highly mobile, but with this club, anti-aids publicity will have its own base.
