International Students Conference on HIV/AIDS, 12/00

10th - 13th December

Kampala, Uganda

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

"HIV/AIDS AND THE YOUTH: the greatest challenge of the new millenium"

An International HIV/AIDS conference with a difference! Organised by University youths at one of Africa's premier Universities, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda, for university students in Africa and beyond!

HIV/AIDS in Uganda and the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa strikes mainly the youth and young adults who are the main stay of the family, pillars of society, the very heart of the workforce and the leaders of tomorrow!

Bringing together the youth to share experiences regarding the impact of HIV/AIDS on them and society, discussing community activities that enhance the spread of HIV, and evaluating current measures of prevention, control and treatment, are the main aims of the conference. Ultimately this will increase students and societal awareness and sensitivity to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, and thus provide a leap forward in HIV/AIDS prevention and control.

Uganda is excellently suited to hold this conference, since it has been ravaged by HIV/AIDS and is now showing signs of recovery, demonstrated by the falling prevalence of HIV infection. There is therefore a need to share strategies used in Uganda and elswhere, with the international community

We are calling upon University and other students in institutions of higher learning, allied health professionals and all interested people throughout the world to join us in Kampala, Uganda for this International Student's Conference on HIV/AIDS.

We are looking forward to see you in Kampala, Uganda
