It was the third and last day of a conference to discuss the HIV and AIDS pandemic that took place in the University of Cape Town. There were 300 delegates present in the meeting, which was convened by higher education HIV/Aids programme (HEAIDS).

Some of the many topics that were discussed in the meeting were projects that aim to prevent HIV, communication methods to change the behaviour of people with regard to HIV and programmes, which can be initiated in workplaces.

HEAIDS is managed by Higher Education South Africa (Hesa). Prof Ahmed Bawa, who is heading the Hesa, said they have been completely devoted to take all the steps by which HIV cases can be reduced. Moreover, their action is rooted in human empathy.

Efforts will be needed to reduce HIV cases in Africa, as it is being counted among countries across the world, which have been greatly exposed to HIV.

While talking about HEAIDS, it was found that they have a number of policy commitments. Some of the many are educating children about HIV and encouraging them to help the organization to raise awareness about HIV. They are also quite regular in taking out researches to find out solution for HIV.
