Igenekerezo rya mbere ukwezi kwa cumi na kabiri uko umwaka utashe amakungu arahimbaza umunsi wahariwe kurwanya virusi itera ubwandu bwa Sida. Ni itariki amakungu yongera kwibutsa ivy’ico kiza, akanibuka kandi abo cahitanye. Uno mwaka, icivugo cashimikiweko cagira kiti: “ Kurandurana n’imizi ikiza ca Sida, kongereza ubudahangarwa, no kugabanya ingaruka.”
