The One-day Community Symposium was a culmination of various activities that included undertaking Sensitization, Voluntary Counselling and Testing<\/strong>. The sensitization and VCT was carried out by TASO. The event was opened by the remarks from our AHAPPY team. It was important to emphasize to them, why we called them for a symposium, our objective and goal as part of the AJAN Network. TASO had a team of four medical personnel led by Dr. Walter, Md. Catherine who is a nurse, and two medical laboratory assistants. They started by giving a brief introduction about the prevalence of HIV in the Northern Uganda. They pointed out that according to a research conducted in 2012, youth between the age of 15 and 25 are the most infected group with HIV. Moreover, among the infected youth, it was found out that, the number of the female youth is higher compared to the male.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The war against HIV cannot be fought alone, we need to collaborate with other members in the society in order to create an AIDS free world. TASO has been in this fight for about 20 years, they have the expertise and rich in experience. They deal mainly with; HIV Testing Services for the general population<\/strong>, Prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV<\/strong>, Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision and Treatment and support services<\/strong> which are all in line with what AJAN strives to achieve. During the symposium they provided all the participants with these services respectively. The voluntary HIV testing services saw 21 youth made up of 11 male and 10 female attend and the results were all negative.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Dans ce voyage de lutte contre le VIH, la chefferie Acholi a jou\u00e9 un grand r\u00f4le pendant des si\u00e8cles. Ils s'associent \u00e0 diff\u00e9rentes organisations pour les aider \u00e0 fournir leurs services au niveau local de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Cette fois, nous nous sommes associ\u00e9s et avons travaill\u00e9 ensemble alors qu'ils mobilisaient les jeunes des rues et des villages voisins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many factors which drags behind the Northern part of Uganda in education provision. These are Poor parenting habits, Domestic violence, The HIV scourge, Civil strife in the North and North-eastern Uganda leading to displaced families, famine, and cattle rustling activities. These factors left some of the youth out of education system. Today AJAN via AHAPPY team has spotted them and ready to educate the young people on the existing vulnerabilities on HIV in order to rescue them from the effects of this disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les participants reconnaissent les services uniques qu'ils ont re\u00e7us, avec g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9 et un formulaire simplifi\u00e9. C'\u00e9tait la premi\u00e8re fois pour la plupart d'entre eux et conna\u00eetre leur statut s\u00e9rologique \u00e9tait une joie. Cependant, leur soif de connaissances les a pouss\u00e9s \u00e0 demander plus d'\u00e9v\u00e9nements similaires. Ils croient en b\u00e9n\u00e9ficier davantage et \u00eatre ambassadeur. c'est-\u00e0-dire pour prot\u00e9ger et \u00e9duquer le reste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M. Okello David\u00a0a comment\u00e9\u00a0: \"\u00a0Je suis tellement impressionn\u00e9 par les formations qui nous ont \u00e9t\u00e9 propos\u00e9es car elles sont tr\u00e8s utiles, au moins nous avons appris des choses sur le VIH que nous ne savions pas, nous demandons que ce type de formation la formation et les tests soient effectu\u00e9s souvent afin que nous soyons constamment rappel\u00e9s au sujet du virus mortel.\u00a0\u00bb <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mme Adyero Mercy a \u00e9galement comment\u00e9 \"\u00a0Je suis tr\u00e8s heureuse d'avoir suivi cette formation, je ne connaissais pas beaucoup de choses, je suis pr\u00eate \u00e0 continuer \u00e0 suivre une formation aussi profitable.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
