Description

Our AIDS awareness campaign aims to spread awareness, provide education, promote testing, and reduce the stigma associated with this crucial public health issue. Through a series of initiatives on social platforms, we are committed to informing the community about safe sexual practices, breaking down prejudices related to HIV/AIDS, and actively encouraging testing for early diagnosis.

In collaboration with Croce Rossa  Italiana, we have created engaging content, including educational games, informative infographics, and interactive quizzes, to reach a broad audience of university students and young adults. Additionally, during the event, HIV test were conducted for free to promote and facilitate voluntary testing, providing a crucial service for early detection. Condom distribution was also a vital component of our efforts, ensuring that individuals have access to protective measures for safe sexual practices.

 

 Through these initiatives, we aim to foster an open and inclusive conversation about AIDS prevention, providing practical resources to encourage responsible behaviors. This includes not only information dissemination but also direct actions such as testing and distribution to make a tangible impact on the health and well-being of our community.
