International Students Conference on HIV/AIDS
---------------------------------------------

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, pil-
lars 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 preven-
tion, control and treatment, are the main aims of the conference. Ul-
timately this will increase students and societal awareness and sen-
sitivity 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, demon-
strated by the falling prevalence of HIV infection. There is there-
fore 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 peo-
ple throughout the world to join us in Kampala, Uganda for this In-
ternational Student's Conference on HIV/AIDS.

We are looking forward to see you in Kampala, Uganda
