The Guangxi/ Lang Son project includes a public education component that surveys community attitudes and attempts to both improve understanding of HIV prevention and reduce stigmatization of drug users and people living with HIV and AIDS.
The intervention in Guangxi-Lang Son is a small roadblock in the path of the epidemic, but it represents an international willingness to attempt strategies that would have been politically infeasible in the recent past.
