The dialogue offered an opportunity for street teenagers to bare their difficulties in daily lives and ask experts about ways to prevent drug addiction and prostitution.
Experts also provided them with necessary legal knowledge and free or low-cost healthcare, vocational training and places to stay.

The dialogue was part of a SC/US-funded project to prevent HIV transmission among teenagers outside schools in Hai Phong which is being implemented between March and September 2009 at a total cost of US$40,000.

After three months of operation, the project, which aims to change views on sex and risky behaviours and prevent HIV transmission among homeless people between 15-24, has organised 65 group meetings for 845 street teenagers.
