Myanmar in the Global State of Harm Reduction 2008
The [him] moderator was fascinated to read the references to Myanmar in the report entitled Global State of Harm Reduction 2008. Among other things, he learned that: … “VCT is available in prisons in Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and, to some extent, Indonesia. ART is available in Thailand, Myanmar and, for a few select prisoners, in Bali, Indonesia.” … Can any readers let us know how many prisoners are getting ART in Myanmar? … … “People who use drugs are also mobilising and organising in some of the most challenging environments. Black Sheep, for example, is a local drug user network formed recently in Myanmar to provide peer-to-peer support.” … Can any readers let us know more about Black Sheep?
