The "HIV, a meme you don't want to share" contest is part of a preventive campaign promoted by the Department of Student Health, belonging to the DGAE, which seeks to raise awareness among students, considering the high rates of contagion.

Second Place: Cristian Ibacache, student of Pedagogy in Spanish and Philosophy.

We wanted them to create posters that would raise awareness and reflect on self-care. I was pleasantly surprised by the large turnout, the originality and quality of the work. “We are happy for the participation and proposals of the students, since these topics are of interest.”

Taking advantage of the number of people during lunch time, it was decided to carry out the intervention in the casinos, a moment of free time and relaxation for the students.

The Coordinator of the Department, Mauricio Castillo, indicated that “the reception of the students was good, beyond finishing their lunch time, they stayed watching and applauding the groups that presented themselves. We hope to continue with these events next year, at the beginning of the academic year we want to hold an artistic exhibition to invite students to join our groups.”
