20th International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa - ICASA 2019

For this 20th conference, the theme is “AIDS FREE AFRICA- Innovation, Community, and Political Leadership”.
This year’s ICASA 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.

ICASA 2019 Objectives:
• Promote community, scientific, and technological innovations for ending AIDS.
• Advocate for financing sustainable national health responses, political leadership, and accountability.
• Advocate for strengthened health systems and multi sectoral collaboration to integrate co-morbidities, emerging infections and NCDs.
• Rethink gender norms, human rights-based approaches and inclusion towards equitable and accessible HIV and AIDS services including Key populations.
• Promote youth-driven and youth-friendly approaches for anAIDS-free generation
