"The main objectives of the centre are to promote community participation in AIDS education and research; and to facilitate the development of social, behavioural and epidemiological research on HIV/AIDS in Hong Kong and the region." he said.
"It also aims to enhance the development of quality education programmes and to provide an avenue for local and international collaboration in the fight against HIV/AIDS."
The new centre, which is not a treatment centre, comprises an information centre, an exhibition area, a library and a resource unit which provides support to small non-governmental organisations working on AIDS.
