1. Private sector conference on HIV/AIDS issues

The South African Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, in partnership with Business Unity South Africa, is hosting the first South African HIV/AIDS conference dedicated to enabling the private sector to 'take its response to HIV to the next level' at Gallagher Estate, Midrand, Johannesburg from 5 to 7 April 2006.

The three-day programme consists of eight interactive debates focusing on difficult and controversial issues related to the pandemic, including whether the impact of mass media campaigns and HIV impede South Africa's economic growth.

High-level presenters and facilitators include Judge Edwin Cameron and Mark Heywood from the AIDS Law Project.
