Action at the capital's bus station

November 14, 2025

As part of the events dedicated to World AIDS Day under the motto «From challenges to transformations in response to HIV», on November 14, 2025, specialists from the Center for HIV Prevention held an action for residents and guests of the city at the Saparzhai bus station in the capital.

A special rapid testing facility was set up on the territory of the bus station, where everyone could quickly, confidentially and free of charge check their HIV status. In addition to testing, specialists provided consultations on HIV prevention measures and transmission routes, calling for a healthy lifestyle without risky situations.

The action aroused great interest among passengers who found themselves at the bus station that day. Many admitted that they had not participated in such events before, fearing condemnation, but convenience and anonymity became crucial factors.

«This is an opportunity not only to find out your status, but also to get useful information about your health. The more people know, the more effectively we can counter the HIV epidemic,» said epidemiologist G.E.Karatayeva.

The event became a vivid example of how important it is to convey to society a simple truth: knowing your HIV status is a step towards maintaining health and well-being. 31 people received consultation and rapid testing service.
