On February 26 of the current year, a preventive conversation was held with students of the technical and economic college at KSIU by representatives of the City Center for the Prevention and Control of AIDS. During the conversation, students learned about the history of the occurrence of this dangerous disease, about the ways of transmitting HIV infection, and also about the necessary measures to prevent infection. At the end of the conversation, students watched a video clip designed to inform youth in an accessible form about the specifics of HIV infection and AIDS, about transmission methods, treatment methods and prevention of this disease. At the end of the event, students were offered a quiz in which they actively participated and consolidated their knowledge.
