The HIV Prevention Summit was organised by the Belgian Research AIDS & HIV Consortium (BREACH) in September 2012.
The conference brought together a huge range of people involved in HIV prevention, including doctors, nurses, laboratory technicians, social workers, psychologists, counsellors, epidemiologists, people living with HIV, political leaders, civil servants and representatives of NGOs and community groups. The SFH stand was run by the SFH marketing associate, Trish Attwooll, and SFH representative in Belgium, Mr Kabirou Oumarou.
