“...I was able to call for a workshop addressing issues of HIV/AIDS in relation to gender violence. I and my volunteers are at least talking to two people now each day about HIV. My management system has changed, the ways to pass messages about a hidden phenomenon and how to treat patients. Storing of information and records has changed and field work visits has also changed." (Sudan)
