About Me
- AZN Bathhouse Nite
- What this program is about The goal of this project is to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among Asian men who have sex with men by promoting safer sex practices, risk reduction behaviours and early intervention in culturally appropriate ways. Some of the program activities include weekly outreach at bath houses; monthly outreach at bars and parks; information displays and condom distribution at community events. We have also developed a Be Assertive postcard, which shows the image of two Asian men talking about safer sex. Success of GAAP is largely due to the contribution of a group of gay Asian volunteers whose support and participation in all areas of this program include planning, implementation and evaluation. By volunteering, these men acquired the skills which enabled them to educate their peers about reduction behaviours and living a healthy lifestyle. Services 1.
