{"product_id":"aids-in-nepal-isbn-9781888363609","title":"AIDS in Nepal","description":"In 1993, the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AmFAR) began a three-year, community-based AIDS prevention program in 17 sites scattered throughout the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal, with the objective of enabling people to protect themselves and their sexual partners against HIV\/AIDS through information, education, and access to means of prevention. The program also aimed to reduce people's individual and collective vulnerability to HIV\/AIDS through the teaching of literacy and other sklls needed for alternate income generation. \u003cbr\u003eIn AIDS in Nepal: Communities Confronting An Emerging Epidemic, Jill Hannum presents the voices of people who are at the forefront of the response to HIV\/AIDS in Nepal. She reveals the many discoveries that the community-based organizations made through their interaction with young people and adults across the country, as they opened a dialogue on sexuality and disseminated information on safer sexual behavior in culturally appropriate ways. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a powerful resource for individuals and organizations concerned with community-based health and social development programs, both within and outside Nepal. It carries a message of hope as communities and those who support them demonstrate how they can respond effectively to an emerging epidemic.","brand":"Seven Stories Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300001796325,"sku":"NP9781888363609","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781888363609.jpg?v=1767721161","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/aids-in-nepal-isbn-9781888363609","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
