(Institutional policy on HIV/AIDS in the universities of Togo)

This policy takes into consideration the viewpoints of the various socio-professional categories in the university community, based on a survey conducted at the University of Lomé and the University of Kara in 2004. This document is based on Togo's national strategic framework for combating HIV/AIDS (2001-2005), adopted in March 2001. It outlines the measures that should be taken by the university community to inform its members and raise their awareness of the problems, to conduct screening for the disease and provision of care, to involve universities in the fight against HIV/AIDS, and to include HIV/AIDS training modules in the curricula of faculties, schools and institutes.
