A response to poverty, drug use, HIV and AIDS (2005).
This booklet chronicles the journey undertaken to date by community based organisations, as they have come to understand and respond to the triple nexus of poverty, drug use and HIV in Asia. The journey was made possible through exposure to the environment of drug use in Asia. Throughout the journey, the trust that was placed in the potential of marginalised individuals and disenfranchised communities was amply vindicated.
The approach taken expanded on the principle of harm reduction. Community based organisations framed a response within the vision of the Continuum of Care. The outcome capitalised upon and cross-fertilised vertical interventions.
