An awareness-raising event dedicated to HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases was held at Mingachevir State University (MSU) with the aim of promoting a healthy lifestyle among students and staff and strengthening awareness on the prevention of infectious diseases. The event was regarded as another example of the university’s commitment to social responsibility principles and its contribution to building a healthy society.

Opening the event, university representatives emphasized the importance of early awareness, preventive measures, and the formation of proper behavioral models in combating infectious diseases. It was noted that higher education institutions are not only spaces for delivering academic knowledge but also key platforms where young people develop social responsibility and healthy lifestyle habits.

During the event, healthcare specialists delivered comprehensive presentations on the causes of HIV/AIDS, modes of transmission, prevention methods, and modern treatment options. In addition, participants were informed about the risks associated with the spread of other infectious diseases, the importance of maintaining hygiene standards, and ways to strengthen the immune system.

Organized in an interactive discussion format, the event enabled students to address their questions to experts, with explanatory insights provided based on real-life examples. This approach allowed participants to better understand the topic and facilitated the practical application of the knowledge gained.

As part of the event, informational brochures were distributed, and various visual materials promoting a healthy lifestyle were presented. The university administration highlighted that such initiatives will continue on a regular basis and that protecting the health of students and staff remains one of the institution’s priority areas.

Such initiatives implemented at Mingachevir State University are considered significant steps toward protecting public health, enhancing social well-being, and fostering an inclusive and sustainable society.
