Vision of level 5 (dreamed by participants at 2009 knowledge fair in Chiang Mai):

Care and prevention are not separated. They are used in an integrative way. Care is used in the wider sense of the word and includes emotional, spiritual and psycho-social care. Care strengthens relationships and helps to change our behaviour.

List of Common Principles:

• If target groups take the lead in care and prevention strategies, responses will be more creative, effective and sustainable.
  
• If PMTCT programs include care for mothers, babies will be better taken care of
  
• If there is proper care and attention for the PLHIV, it can bring out the true potential of the PLHIV becoming the driving force for prevention.
  
• If we go beyond the medical care and understand that PLHIV have other aspects in their life, then we can better respond to the whole person's needs.
  
• If you go beyond care for the positive person and consider the further personal connections, relationships can be saved and prevention increased.
  
• If you find a common interest with the community you visit, it will be easier to build a relationship and discuss HIV-related issues
  
• If you (stepwise) involve a larger part of the community, a complete response can open up
  
• If SALT visits are carried out frequently, they can increase the uptake of VCT services
  
• If infected people are cared for and trained, they can provide care and preventive services to others effectively
  
• If people know their sero-status, they can easily care for themselves and others.
  
• If both the positive and negative sex workers are sensitized on condom use, they can use condoms to prevent and care for themselves and their clients.
  
• If young people are supported by people they trust, they will increase the uptake of condoms to prevent new infections among themselves and others.
  
• If enough sensitization sessions are carried out with CSW to care and to prevent themselves from catching HIV, they will improve their well being.
  
• If truck drivers are well sensitized on the use of condoms, they can use condoms to care and to prevent themselves and their partners.
