Yakovlev University Held the Events on HIV Prevention

From November 11 to December 2, ChSPU hosted the events aimed at preventing AIDS and infectious diseases. The purpose of the events is to increase youth awareness on HIV prevention issues, to develop youth motivation to preserve their health and the health of the people around.
The ChSPU curators and mentors of study groups spoke on the problem of HIV infection and AIDS in the form of lectures, talks, discussions, and quizzes. The students learnt how dangerous those diseases are, whether it is possible to have contacts with the infected, and which contacts should be avoided to reduce the risk of infection. The speakers dispelled the myths on the possibilities of infection, informed on anonymous diagnostics, and the timing for obtaining an accurate diagnosis.
In addition, the students took part in the “Red Ribbon” campaign, in which red ribbons were distributed on the central streets of the city, and in shopping centers.
