November 11, 2026

On November 10, an information and preventive action "All about HIV" was held in the Forum shopping center in Almaty, timed to coincide with World AIDS Day.

The event was organized by the Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS in Almaty, the City Center for Human Reproduction, public foundations "Ana meteb і," "Youth Movement for the Future of Kazakhstan," "Teenergizer" and the youth health center "Ak-zhol" at the city polyclinic No. 7.

One of the main results of the action was the testing of 75 people for HIV. Everyone was offered to undergo rapid testing on near-spring liquid and get expert advice. The result could be found out in 20 minutes.

For each participant, it was an opportunity to find out their HIV status, take care of their health in a timely manner and get reliable information about the prevention of infection.

Visitors to the mall could also consult with specialists, learn about HIV transmission routes, modern prevention methods and the importance of regular testing. In addition, the participants of the action answered the questions of the thematic quiz and received prizes.

"I believe that such shares are very necessary. You do not always find time to specifically apply for testing, but here it became possible to pass it right during a visit to a shopping center. It is convenient and important," said student Amir.

"I didn't know much about HIV before. Today I received answers to my questions and realized how important it is to regularly check my health. I think everyone should be responsible for this," said Alla, a visitor to the shopping center.

Such actions help to make HIV prevention more accessible, draw attention to health issues and remind that the timely detection of infection is of great importance.

Remember: knowing your HIV status means being responsible for your health. HIV testing in the country is free and confidential.
