Welcome to Wake Up Pune 2010. This year we are focusing our efforts on expanding the original goals in a big way. Entirely volunteer-driven from its inception, Wake Up Pune has many committed, passionate, energetic volunteers very eager to get more involved in doing whatever they can to spread the 'Be HIV Positive' message.
In other words, our goal to build an army of volunteers to 'inspire civil society to challenge the misconceptions, ignorance, fear and stigma surrounding HIV' is shifting into high gear.
SPEAK UP. BE HIV POSITIVE. LET'S WAKE UP PUNE.

We all know the basics about the HIV virus, but most of us are unaware as to the specific way in which the virus attacks the body. To help us all learn a bit more this week we're happy to welcome Dr. Petra to give an in-depth presentation on the HIV virus. We should all learn a lot about the way in which HIV functions, and the complex interactions that occur throughout the body.
Volunteers new and old, please feel free to bring along friends, all are welcome.
