In commerating World AIDS Day 2014, we at PHAU organised the 1st World AIDS Day Flash Mob in Uganda on 1st December 2014 with five youth dance groups with over 100 dancers aimed at increasing awareness on the HIV prevention strategies. Free HCT services were offered to young people with over 5000 condoms distributed as they provide a dual protection against HIV/AIDS, STIs and unplanned teenage pregnancy. The theme for the flash mob was Getting to Zero, Every one's Responsibility.
