BFPA’s activities on World’s AIDS Day

Their goal is to raise awareness among young people (and people of all ages), about how the disease is transmitted and how to protect themselves, as well as encouraging them to test themselves, so they are aware of their HIV status. This is being done in order to lower the prevalence of the disease in society as a whole and in case there is a need, to start therapy and minimize risks of virus transmission. This year young BFPA volunteers implemented educational sessions for young people and distributed informational materials about HIV/AIDS in Sofia, Pleven, Ploovdiv, Ruse and Stara Zagora and also the association supported the campaigns of the Red Cross Youth in all 28 regions of the country, NNHM, the youth sections of the UN clubs in Bulgaria, SHC, the Association of Pharmaceutical students and the Association of Medical Students with the donated by Durex Bulgaria 9000 condoms. We hope that this cooperation will continue successfully in the future not only on thematic campaigns, but also with long-term activities on peer education, prevention and raising awareness.
