YOUTH URGED TO TALK ABOUT AIDS FRANKLY

* * * * *

THE BEST PREVENTION AGAINST AIDS IS FOR EVERYONE TO DISCUSS THE DISEASE OPENLY AND FRANKLY INSTEAD OF SHUNNING THE ISSUE.

THE APPEAL WAS MADE TODAY (WEDNESDAY) BY MS CARLYE TSUI, URBAN COUNCILLOR AND MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION AND PUBLICITY ON AIDS (CEPAIDS) AT THE LAUNCHING CEREMONY OF THE AIDS ROVING EXHIBITION FOR TERTIARY STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG.

MS TSUI SAID SHE HOPED THAT YOUNG PEOPLE AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC COULD PAY GREATER ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM OF AIDS WITH AN OPEN AND CARING ATTITUDE.

"THE COMMUNITY CAN BE MORE ALERT ABOUT THE THREAT OF AIDS IF WE CAN ALL ADDRESS THE AIDS PROBLEM WITH AN OPEN MIND. AND THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO HALT THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE,' SHE SAID.

MS TSUI SAID CEPAIDS*

PUBLICITY STRATEGY FOR THIS YEAR WOULD BE TO ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO DISCUSS MORE ABOUT AIDS AS THE PROBLEM REALLY CONCERNED EVERYBODY.

NOTING THAT HETEROSEXUAL RELATIONS WERE THE PREVALENT MODE OF TRANSMITTING AIDS IN HONG KONG, MS TSUI URGED YOUNG PEOPLE TO BE AWARE OF THE THREAT OF AIDS AND TO TAKE PROPER MEASURES ΤΟ PROTECT THEMSELVES.

MS TSUI SAID: "IT IS OUR HOPE THAT THE YOUNGER GENERATION WILL HAVE A MORE THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF THE DISEASE. FOR THIS REASON, WE ARE ORGANISING THE ROVING EXHIBITION TO BE MOUNTED IN EIGHT TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THIS ACADEMIC YEAR.'

OTHER THAN THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, THE EXHIBITION WILL BE STAGED AT LINGNAN COLLEGE, THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, CITY POLYTECHNIC, SHUE YAN COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, THE HONG KONG BAPTIST COLLEGE AND HONG KONG POLYTECHNIC.

OTHER OFFICIATING GUESTS AT THE LAUNCHING CEREMONY INCLUDED THE VICE-CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, PROFESSOR WANG GUNGWU AND DIRECTOR OF THE UNIVERSITY'S HEALTH SERVICE, DR IAN MARSHALL.
