AIDS Day

Dr. Naré Narcisse from the Ministry of public health gave a conference on ‘Youth and HIV/AIDS in Burkina Faso’.  Dr. Narcisse participated in an International Visitor’s program on HIV and AIDS in the United States just prior to this conference. 

Based on what he learned, he felt it was necessary to speak to
Burkinabe Youth on what he was taught and discovered during his three-week exchange.  Several Youth associations participated in the conference and were very inquisitive on the impact, procedures, and tests around the subject of HIV and AIDS.  There were 30 participants present at the conference.

From what was presented at the conference, many saw it as a fruitful issue and believed more such conferences should be initiated due to the sensitivity of the topic.  Participants and parents of adolescents exchanged ideas with Dr. Narcisse on ways to better educate youth on how to prevent HIV/AIDS.
