Representatives of citizens appointed as "Infectious Disease Prevention Guardians" participated alongside staff from the Gwangju City Public Health Center, providing accurate information about HIV/AIDS, promoting the importance of early testing, and working to eliminate prejudice and discrimination against people living with HIV.
To encourage preventive action among citizens, the city distributed promotional materials such as leaflets and condoms, and also conducted online outreach through its official social media channels. The social media posts introduced four key promises for HIV/AIDS prevention, advised against risky sexual behavior, and emphasized the need for early testing, thereby increasing citizen participation and raising awareness.
