To mark World AIDS Day, the Cote d’Ivoire PEPFAR team took its ‘HIV/AIDS Road Show’ to Danane and Man, two major cities controlled by the New Forces (former Ivorian rebels) in Western Cote d’Ivoire.  The aim of these outreach programs was to sensitize people, especially youth, living in the remotest parts of the country about how to prevent HIV/AIDS. Both sessions drew on a series of short films made by young Africans that address sensitive aspects related to HIV/AIDS by drawing on realistic situations presented in entertaining ways.
