I do work similar to Maksim’s and believe that supporting groups that are stigmatized by the general public is an important issue not only from public health perspective but also because these groups end up in inhumane conditions, living on the streets, struggling with alcohol and drug abuse, disowned by their families. " The incident with Maksim confirms an unofficial ban on distribution of information about usage of condoms as prevention of HIV and AIDS that the Uzbek authorities applied for NGOs and international organizations, including UNICEF.
Hago un trabajo parecido al de Maksim y creo que apoyar a los grupos a los que el público estigmatiza es algo muy importante y no únicamente desde el punto de vista de la sanidad pública, sino también porque estos grupos acaban soportando condiciones inhumanas, viviendo en las calles, en constante lucha contra el alcoholismo y la drogadicción, rechazados por sus familias.
