kenya: Council of war against Aids

Thousands of experts gathered in Nairobi on Sunday for a council of war on Africa's battle against Aids, a combat characterised by a relentlessly spreading pandemic but also by some good news at last about funds and access to drugs. Some 8 000 doctors, researchers, policymakers and grassroots campaigners were registered for the 13th International Conference on Aids and Sexually Transmitted Infections in Africa (Icasa), a major forum held every two years.
