The conference venue will be at the Millennium Hall located in the heart of the capital city.
The International Conference on AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (ICASA) is one of the major international AIDS conferences happening in Africa. Its current biennial hosting alternates between the Anglophone and Francophone African countries. It provides a forum for exchange of experiences and lessons learnt in Africa and around the globe in responding to HIV, AIDS and STIs. It also enables consolidation of experiences gained in making evidence based -informed responses to HIV/AIDS and STIs in Africa, i.e. knowing the epidemic, its driving factors and responding accordingly in the context of Africa.
The conference expects to welcome more than 10,000 delegates from around the world working in the fields of HIV/AIDS, STIs, TB & Malaria. It will also encourage the participation of young researchers, health care workers, and community representatives from the developing world by providing scholarships. Regional and Global leaders in the field are also expected to participate in the conference.
All registrations for ICASA 2011 will begin in March 2011. Online registration form along with instruction will be provided soon on the congress site.
