Shaping the Future Together

November 10, 2025

From November 10 to December 10, 2025, the Abai region will launch a campaign dedicated to World AIDS Day (December 1) under the slogan: “From Challenges to Transformations: Taking Responsibility for HIV.” The campaign’s slogan reflects society’s commitment to strengthening the prevention system, improving the quality of life for people living with HIV, and achieving the targeted indicators for eradicating HIV.

As part of the campaign, organized by the Abai Regional Health Department and the Regional HIV Prevention Center, together with medical organizations and educational institutions in the region, a wide range of events is planned. These initiatives aim to prevent HIV infection with the involvement of non-governmental organizations, youth, and key population groups. All initiatives will receive broad coverage in mass media as well as online—on websites and social networks.

One of the main events will be the interactive youth event “HIV Party”, which will take place on November 21, 2025, at A. Bokeikhanov University. In a live dialogue format, participants will discuss current issues, debunk myths about HIV, and promote the culture of testing and support for adolescents and young people living with HIV.

Additionally, a student forum on HIV prevention and promoting tolerance in the region will be held at the State Medical University of Semey.

As part of the campaign, the Regional HIV Prevention Center and medical organizations in the region will host open days, lectures in schools, universities, and colleges, sessions in military units, a roundtable with NGOs at the Medical College, and a press conference with media participation.

Through the information, photos, and videos shared by participants on social networks, residents of the region will be able to learn about the events taking place, be inspired by personal stories, positive examples, and concrete steps in combating HIV, and hear direct calls to action locally.

We urge residents of the region to actively participate in the campaign events and support the ideas of HIV prevention and fostering a tolerant attitude toward people living with HIV!
