HIV Testing & TB Study

 Free HIV Testing

March 11th P3M teamed up with a government organization in Medan that's Commission is tackling AIDS (KPA) and the Veteran's clinic providing information on sexually transmitted diseases, condoms as a means of HIV prevention as well as a free examination of HIV and venereal diseases.15 woman and 5 man attended and got checked for both. 












Wulan who is one of the P3M founders, lives with HIV. She shared her testimony giving the the girls support and encouragement as well as teaching them ways they can try and prevent themselves from contracting HIV.



They brought in a doctor & nurse who specialize in testing and treating HIV & STDs. They set up one room for HIV testing and the other for STD testing. Before anyone was tested they went through a short counseling session. 

It was great to team up with them and are hope is that everyone is healthy and will help themselves to stay that way.

















TB Study

March 12th P3M & friends went to visit a hotel/brothel in Medan. They made a study guide for each of the women with information about Tuberculosis (TB), what is TB, symptoms, how can it be treated, where they can go for this treatment in Medan, medicine and so forth. P3M is trying to help them to become more aware of how to protect themselves as well as educate them on the many things they are in danger of contracting. 15 women attended, they were very interested to learn, they were interacting and asking a lot of questions. Over all it went very well.

Dr. Koffee organization is trying to help with the bill where they can. We are so thankful for them and for JO putting them in contact with P3M.
