Rio de Janeiro, 5 - 11 November 2000

The main aim of Forum 2000 was to encourage discussion and exchanges of experiences and knowledge among those directly or indirectly involved in control and prevention of the HIV/AIDS and STD epidemic. Attendance included representatives of public and private organisations, civil society institutions, networks, national and international co-operation agencies and academic institutions. FORUM 2000 activities were directed towards suggesting integrated strategic action lines for a global response to HIV/AIDS and STDs. The event represented an opportunity for sharing doubts and difficulties concerning the development of scientific research, prevention, care and community action, as well as to act as a stimulus to establishing contacts, useful links and co-operation among all participants. FORUM 2000 was organised by the various national STD and AIDS programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean and by non-governmental and community institutions, multi- and bi-lateral international cooperation organisations, research and academic institutions.
