8th International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific (ICAAP)

19/08 to 24/08/2007

  • Country: Sri Lanka
  • City: Colombo

The theme of the 8th ICAAP, scheduled to take place in Colombo, Sri Lanka, is Waves of Change, Waves of Hope. The waves are a mighty and integral part of the host country, the island nation of Sri Lanka. Waves of Change signify many things happening; many things in motion, while taking into account milestones in the past and creating new ones for the future, new work-plans, timelines and a future for the HIV and AIDS community and the general public.

It also implies that there is a mass of activity that needs to be carried out to change the world; creating a ripple-effect that would encompass the whole globe. Like the ebb and the flow of waves, global activity to prevent, control, battle and treat HIV and AIDS could also be adapted to suit each and every society, community, nation or region. Such action like the endless sea could cross continents but at the same time be culture specific, bringing about change, a new vision and victory against this disease.
