It was publicised through a series of efforts like flyers, posters, a banner put up outside the auditorium and event listings.

Mrs. Iris Verghese, 61, counseled Singapore’s first AIDS patient in 1981.

In 2001, the number of teenagers diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) was 256; in 2005, this number had increased to 638.HIV can affect anyone.
