The annual STD x HIV x Sex Congress organized by AIDSfonds in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, this year will take place on 23 November. AFEW International gladly offers students the chance to attend the Congress for 15 euros, which is a fraction of the regular ticket price. We invite you to take part in the congress if you are a student interested in issues related to HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

About 500 professionals from various institutions such as Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amsterdam Municipal Health Service, Public Health Ministry, national and international NGOs and research institutions take part in the Congress in Amsterdam. These professionals are committed to ending AIDS and decreasing STD infections. The Congress is also a place to learn about community-based development and new research findings and technologies. Congress tickets can be bought between 11 October and 16 November online.

The student discount is made possible by AFEW International. AFEW is a network of civil society organisations working in the Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) region. With AFEW International’s secretariat based in Amsterdam and country-offices in Kazakhstan, Kyrgzystan, Tajikistan and Ukraine, AFEW strives to promote health and increased access to prevention, treatment and care for public health concerns such as HIV, TB, viral hepatitis and sexual reproductive health and rights. At the STD x HIV x Sex Congress, AFEW is hosting an art expo and a workshop that brings students and professionals together to discuss the future of the work field.
