PROFESSOR Prem Misir recently made presentations of his book: ‘HIV and AIDS Knowledge and Stigma in Guyana’ at the Guyana High Commission in London. The book, which is study-based, examines young people’s familiarity with HIV and Aids-related issues and possible solution drivers.Responding to a question about the study regarding religion and ethnicity on the issue of HIV and AIDS knowledge and stigma, Professor Misir said that sample students from Christian religious groups proved to be more receptive on the subject.

The scope of the study also came into focus as Misir pointed out that while the world has become a global village international research collaboration in the area of health is a must.
The book was launched in Guyana late last year.
