Blossum Gilmour from Care International speaks from the front line of HIV service delivery on remote Bougainville Island in Papua New Guinea. With a focus on young people, Care International’s programs are encouraging community based dialogue – not just to educate youth on safe sex and HIV but also to teach skills in negotiating safer sex.
She discusses the impact of having multiple sexual partners, challenges in reaching sex workers, the role of parents and the barriers to ‘coming out’ as HIV positive.
