Drug Users

CDC will select one or two NGO(s) to conduct a KABB evaluation to further delineate the educational needs, perception of risk, readiness for exchanging needles, and ability needed to negotiate condom use. The evaluation will also allow the grantee to assess the vulnerability as they face the need to obtain resources for drug consumption (sex work).

The grantee will also evaluate the use of a science based intervention (DEBI) and adapt it to local needs. The intervention must address needle exchange issues. A second level must also address the promotion of safe sex practices.
