ACET Leaders from Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia and the UK met recently for 4 days, in Minsk. Gary Crothers from ACET Northern Ireland highlighted the need for accredited training for all educators in HIV and sexual health. He stressed the importance of communicating in a way which will change behaviour, not just raise awareness of the issues.
What is ACET?
ACET is a practical and compassionate response to HIV & AIDS and works to support the rapidly growing ACET International Alliance. The Alliance is a group of independent organisations around the world working to reduce the rates of new HIV infections, care for those affected by HIV & AIDS and support AIDS orphans.
Peter Fabian, CEO of ACET UK, has just returned from a visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he saw the potential of the ACET teams to mobilise thousands of church volunteers.
