Kenya to host 13th International Conference on HIV/AIDS and Sexually
Transmitted Infections in Africa

By Justus Waimiri

[ACNS source: CAPA] In September 2003, more than 8,000 delegates from all
over the world will gather in Nairobi, Kenya, to discuss the AIDS pandemic.

The Council of Anglican Provinces of Africa (CAPA) has been given an
opportunity to present a paper at the historic International Conference on
HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA) which will
run from 21-26 September.

It is expected that CAPA's initiatives in the Provinces will be brought out
at the conference, which brings together political and social leaders,
scientists, funding agencies and social workers. CAPA Secretariat has urged
Provinces to sponsor their AIDS coordinators to attend this important
gathering.

This year's theme is "Improving Access to Care," an issue that is now
receiving global attention because of the enormous strain that AIDS is
presenting to medical facilities and affected communities. Participants will
share experiences and latest information on care and support.
