La Sala will initiate together with the Pan American Social Marketing Organization (PASMO) a combined prevention strategy against HIV / AIDS.
From 2011, PASMO, for the first time in Costa Rica, is implementing a combined prevention program for attention of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in partnership with other local civil society organizations. Thus, the fellows from La Sala will begin working together on this project that includes a communication for behavior change. This program attempts to provide tools to people at risk so they will know where to find help and get it in a friendly and sensitive way, and also give them tools and services needed to prevent and treat infections such as HIV.
