Write an essay on the importance of the HIV & AIDS Symposium to you as a student.

HIV and AIDS are very common for some people that could possibly get
from sexually transmitted diseases. Thus, many teenagers started having sexual
encounters with one or more partners before getting married. This HIV and AIDS
symposium help to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitudes among
individuals.

The importance of this kind of symposium are needed especially on students

that they will know what effects might get if they engage in sexual encounters.
Nowadays, students are prone from teenage pregnancy they are open in mind of
having sex to others. This implies that it has a lack of knowledge that students need
to acquire this time. The necessity to expand the reach of HIV education and
provide a more open and holistic approach to it have been lessons gained in AIDS
education. In that regard, the early proficiencies to teach HIV as a science subject
that only addressed the biology of transmission, as well as the scare tactics
frequently employed to prevent young people from engaging in sexual activity,
have gone.

HIV and AIDS symposium can aid students in developing and maintaining
safer behaviors as well as lowering stigma and discrimination against those who
are HIV-affected and living with the virus. It is better that students will have this
kind of symposium it helps us to be mindful of our doings and to keep us healthy.
