Montenegrian Asociation against AIDS-CAZAS within the project "Strengthening capacities of PLHIV in Montenegro" started with the surveys among PLHIV and their associates (families, friends and partners) as well as professionals who work with the PLHIV and their associates.
Together with 3 (three) PLHIV we designed a questionnaire for themselves and for their associates. After completing the surveys and gained data, there will be prepared a report with PLHIV and their associates on the results. There will be organized a PLHIV and associate group meeting and discuss the findings. The key findings of relevance will be formulated and integrated into the trainings that will be organized within the project.

There is also the survey among the professionals covered by the project proposal. This survey is conducting in order to understand the perceptions from those who instigate discriminatory attitudes: both from the health and non-health sectors.

The findings of the surveys will be used to determine the agenda and key directions of developing the training program. In all surveys the three PLHIVs are helping the project coordinator and coordinator of self-support group, and also in this way motivate them even more to get involved in this work in a long term period.

This project is supported by Foundation Partnerships in Health – FPH.
