14:15-15:45
Geeta Rao Rupta, United States
Peter Aggleton, United Kingdom

The session will provide an opportunity for speakers and
participants to explore a wide range of issues normally
addressed in separate parts of the conference programme.
It will explicitly address the tension between risk and
vulnerability reduction implicit in HIV prevention, as well as
the role of education in securing reductions in the incidence
and prevalence of HIV. While not focusing in detail upon the
evaluation of specific types of programme and/or intervention,
the session will provide an opportunity for participants to
identify the key elements of a comprehensive response that
need to be in place if HIV prevention is to be successful within
the present context. It will also highlight research gaps and
opportunities and the methodologies most appropriate to
meeting these needs.

TUSYO4 25 Years of Community Response to HIV/
AIDS: Where do we go from here?
Symposium
Venue: Session Room 4, Level 800 FR
Date: Tuesday 15 August
Time: 14:15-15:45
Moderator: Lucky Mazibuko, South Africa
This panel discussion will commemorate 25 years of
community response to HIV/AIDS while plotting a course for
the future. Five well-respected community leaders working
in different parts of the movement will reflect on the current
state of activism/advocacy in HIV/AIDS and discuss what we
need to do to make real progress. Questions discussed will
include: Are there lessons from the past we are forgetting?
What is the current status of the GIPA principles? Is there
still a role for radical activism? How do we work both locally
and globally? How do we help build capacity of vulnerable
communities? How does the movement foster new leadership?
How do we confront AIDS fatigue and burnout? To promote
audience participation and greater dialogue, this session will
be repeated in the Global Village in a more open format.
