Introduction by Dr. Jacob Olupona

_{This panel discussion will address the interrelation of religious faith and practice (D. Amponsah), development in public health (A. Ousmanou), and the media and the creation of public knowledge (A. Mousa) in terms of what is known in Cameroon and much of Central and West African francophone countries as “la lutte contre le SIDA”. The mechanisms of each of these three fields can potentially provide people living with HIV in Cameroon, both personally and in community, with resources to help them live positively with HIV. They also present distinct challenges to those living healthily with the virus.}

Refreshments will be served following.
