ABSTRACT
Nonetheless, the bulk of the work of CBOs in the epidemic revolves around two major concerns: support for those already infected and preventive education (largely, but not entirely, for those who are not infected). To meet these two goals requires not just the provision of services, but constant advocacy and interaction with governments, health providers and potential donors. The balance between these areas will change as the nature of the epidemic changes, and each encompasses a very wide range of activities.
