The Role of Sex Worker Organizations
نویسنده
چکیده
Australia's response to HIV/AIDS has been described as 'proactive and effective' (Steven, 1994: 237). The rate of HIV transmission has, so far, declined to a steady state level and treatment and care programs work in conjunction with a system of cost-free, or low cost, universal health care. Overall, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs have been successful because of the adoption of a 'partnership approach' which has linked federal government strategies to the activities and perspectives of community based organisations. In particular, the recognition that the design and delivery of prevention and education programs are most effectively carried out at the community level, by members of the groups most effected, has guided the creation of a series of three National HIV/AIDS Strategies.
