8,000 Aids experts to meet in Nairobi

By MUGUMO MUNENE

Africa will be the focus of the world's Aids experts in two weeks as 8,000 delegates gather in Nairobi for the ICASA conference.

The International Conference on HIV/Aids and Sexually Transmitted Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA) brings together health providers, government officials, politicians and non-governmental organisation delegates to share experiences on the continent's responses to Aids.

The conference, which is usually held once every two years, will be held at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre from September 21 to 26 on the theme: Access to Care: Challenges.

The conference, which will be the thirteenth, is co-hosted by the ICASA secretariat and the Kenya Government with the support from donors and other groups. President Kibaki is the patron of the conference.
