The 14th ICASA, Abuja, Nigeria.

I (in traditional African attire) accompanied 2 Consultant Family Physicians (shown in picture) to the 14th ICASA (International Conference on AIDs and STIs in Africa) that held in Abuja, Nigeria. It was a gathering of world-renowned researchers, AIDs experts, Activists, OVCs (orphan and vulnerable children), PLWHA, donor organizations, pharmaceutical companies, government dignitaries from all over the world and other stakeholders in HIV care.
One message resounded (reverberated?) repeatedly: it is high time we stopped the talk and just took action-simply scale up (in a sane way of course!) all aspects of HIV care. Period!
Here, we brainstormed, after one of the sessions.
