News: HARP at the ICASA 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa (7 to 11 December 2013)
Admire Chikandiwa will be representing HARP at the forthcoming 17th International
Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA 2013) in South Africa, where he will
be making two presentations, including his award winning one*:
1. Epidemiology of Low Risk Human Papillomavirus infection (LR-HPV) and Genital Warts in HIV Positive Women in Africa: results from the HARP study (oral) (lead author: Admire Chikandiwa).
*This presentation has been selected for the Young Investigator Award from the Society for AIDS in Africa (SAA)
2. Performance of cervical cancer screening tests in HIV-positive women in Africa: influence of CD4 counts (oral) (lead author: Sinead Delany-Moretlwe)
The 17th ICASA is an opportunity to renew this global commitment by drawing the world’s attention to the fact that the legacy is now under threat as a result of the global economic downturn. This year’s ICASA, to be held at Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), is an opportunity for the international community, and all Africans, to join efforts in committing to achieving an AIDS-free Africa. Given the urgency of the issue we are anticipating 7 000 -10 000 of the world’s leading scientists, policy makers, activists, PLHIV, government leaders – as well as a number of heads of state and civil society representatives – will be joining the debate on how to achieve this vision.
