Eastern Cuban Bets on AIDS Prevention
Havana.- Experts in Cuba's eastern Guantánamo province are betting on prevention as a mechanism to fight the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in the region.

Representatives of the Project for the Development of Organizational Capacities of AIDS prevention groups in the region met this month to assess the work of those groups.

The meeting of experts, program promoters and HIV carriers was held in Guantánamo as an acknowledgement of the province's work in fighting AIDS.

According to experts, participants noted the need to improve educational work on that scourge, especially within vulnerable groups.

They also stressed the importance of spreading experiences in fighting the disease and its transmission mechanisms, since predictions show that 70 million people will die of AIDS in the world over the next two decades.
