The Regional Communications Service of East Kazakhstan Region hosted a briefing by the Centre for Prevention and Control of AIDS, dedicated to World AIDS Day. Specialists of the institution presented journalists with the results of their work for the first ten months of 2025 and outlined key priorities in HIV prevention efforts across the region.

According to the Centre, this year particular attention has been given to early detection of HIV, expanding access to HIV testing, and increasing public awareness — including among young people. A key focus remains reducing stigma against people living with HIV, as well as strengthening partnerships with healthcare institutions, educational organizations and civil society organizations.

Centre representatives noted that as part of the campaign dedicated to World AIDS Day, the region is hosting thematic outreach events, educational seminars and community meetings under the slogan “From Challenges to Change in the HIV Response.” These activities aim to strengthen public awareness, promote a responsible attitude toward personal health and improve access to prevention services.

At the conclusion of the briefing, specialists emphasized that systematic information and awareness-raising efforts remain one of the key tools for stabilizing the HIV situation and fostering a culture of timely HIV testing among the population.
