The conference will bring together people from various backgrounds in Asia and the Pacific region to meet and share knowledge, skills, ideas and research findings related to HIV and AIDS.
This is also an opportunity for people to provide mutual support and make stronger commitments in their fight against the epidemic.
IPPF’s presence at the conference has been organised by our South Asia Regional Office (SARO) and our East & South East Asia and Oceania Region (ESEAOR) with a large number of attendees from both our Regional Offices and our Member Associations in the region.
IPPF will be involved in a number of activities at the conference.
As well as a conference booth in the exhibition hall, IPPF has had 2 satellite sessions, 3 skills building workshops and other events for the People Living with HIV Stigma Index accepted onto the main programme.
