A meeting on the topic “Healthy Lifestyle, Healthy Future” was held at Baku State University (BSU) through a joint initiative of the BSU Volunteers Organization and the Republican AIDS Center of the Ministry of Health.

During the session, students received information about HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), including modes of transmission and methods of prevention. Speakers noted that thousands of people face daily risks of HIV and hepatitis infection, and that co-infection remains a serious concern worldwide.

Representatives of the Center emphasized the importance of continuous educational outreach and awareness-raising activities, particularly those aimed at strengthening national and moral values. They also informed students about the symptoms of HIV infection and modern treatment approaches.

At the end of the event, students voluntarily provided blood samples for preliminary HIV/AIDS screening and early diagnosis.
