December 11, 2025

Active and systematic work aimed at fostering responsible attitudes toward personal health and HIV prevention among young people continues in the Karasai district. Over the past month, specialists from medical institutions and relevant organizations conducted a series of lectures, trainings, and interactive sessions for college students and schoolchildren in the district.

The awareness campaign covered major educational venues, including medical and arts colleges, as well as schools in the villages of Shalkar and Batan in the Karasai district. Both teenagers and teaching staff took part in the activities, which helped broaden the audience and increase the effectiveness of prevention efforts.

Specialists from the Karasai Clinical Multidisciplinary Central District Hospital played a key role in the sessions. Dermatovenerologist T. Kuzmina provided young people with detailed information on methods of protection against sexually transmitted infections, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups. Psychologist S. Sultangalieva focused on the harms of psychoactive substances and explained how drug use affects the physical and psychological well-being of adolescents.

Special attention during the meetings was given to HIV prevention, safe behavior, personal responsibility for one’s health, and the need for timely medical consultation. The interactive format allowed young participants to freely ask questions, receive reliable information, and debunk common myths.

By the end of the month, the awareness campaign had reached more than 950 young people in the Karasai district. This scale highlights not only the importance of systematic prevention work but also the growing interest of young people in health and a safe lifestyle.
