Here are some young people expectations about the PC:

Anh Vu Tuan- Vietnam – 22 yrs old.

“I hope to learn how to use the mass media programs, how to build skills and knowledge of young people in another countries, differents of Vietnam, with another culture, to know how do they do”

Murillo Williams- Suriname, 20 yrs old

I see the pre -conference as a knowlegde center to be prepared to the main conference, and gather with young people to have a voice at the main cconference, a space to share and compare our experiences concerning HIV to the whole world.
AIDS 2008.
