OUR HISTORY

VIAC was founded by a group of 07 students in 2007 as Youth Club; carrying out peer education for college students with a primary focus on skills training and HIV prevention. After receiving training as peer educators for the “Pinch and Unroll” campaign, we decided to put the knowledge to valuable contributions in our society. We had a high prevalence rate of 11.0% of HIV infection in the Southwest region; we decided to register a voluntary group that will help in preventive information to young people.
