PATSIDA
¿Qué es?
Patsida es un programa de prevención en VIH/Sida. Promociona el buen manejo de la sexualidad. Brinda capacitaciones sobre asuntos de salud sexual a congregaciones, escuelas, instituciones de educación superior y la comunidad en general.
Orgígenes
PATSIDA inició sus actividades en junio del 2007, en tres ciudades de Bolivia (Cochabamba, Sucre y Potosí), con la temática del VIH/sida. Posteriormente se profundizó el tema de la buena administración de la sexualidad. A la fecha, el programa se ha extendido a 7 ciudades del país: Cochabamba, Sucre, Potosí, Santa Cruz, La Paz, Oruro y Tarija; además de las ciudades de Jujuy y Salta de la Argentina. A partir del año 2016 el proyecto incluye de manera más profunda temáticas alrededor de, “Relaciones saludables entre hombres y mujeres”. Esto porque la violencia contra la mujer y la violencia intrafamiliar en el país y el mundo, cada vez es mayor. Se han desarrollado materiales de impacto, estrategias de empoderamiento y experiencias que han permitido, con la participación de la iglesia local, llevar una propuesta de prevención basada en valores y principios bíblicos.

What is it?
Patsida is an HIV/AIDS prevention program. It promotes the proper management of sexuality. It provides training on sexual health matters to congregations, schools, higher education institutions, and the community at large.
Origins
PATSIDA began its activities in June 2007, in three cities of Bolivia (Cochabamba, Sucre, and Potosí), focusing on HIV/AIDS. The theme of proper sexuality management was later deepened. To date, the program has expanded to 7 cities across the country: Cochabamba, Sucre, Potosí, Santa Cruz, La Paz, Oruro, and Tarija; as well as the cities of Jujuy and Salta in Argentina.
Since 2016, the project has more deeply included themes around "Healthy relationships between men and women." This is because violence against women and domestic violence in the country and the world is increasingly greater. Impactful materials have been developed, strategies for empowerment, and experiences that have allowed, with the participation of the local church, to carry forward a prevention proposal based on values and biblical principles.
