Achievements/ milestones
- The session was very interactive and informative. Overall, the volunteers were very satisfied.

What we have learnt
- The volunteers are now fully equip with knowledge on the medical background of AIDS/HIV as well as are aware of the issues surrounding the topic such as the stigma and efforts made by the Malaysian AIDS Council.

The event was really interactive as the speaker was very very good and interesting. We had an ice-breakking session which was very interesting as he popped up questions that never did come up to our mind before this. The session was easy to understand as the speaker, Abang Zam, approached the topic of AIDS/HIV is a simple was as do students would find it easy to absorb. ALOT of questions were given, (a proof of how much we dont know about the topic) and ALOT of misconceptions were answered.

It was GREAT!!!
