This Committee  (SCORA)  was established in 1991, during the IFMSA General Assembly, in Londrina, Brasil. It was created as the result of medical students' raising awareness of the growing problem of HIV infection and AIDS and our will to do something about it. 
        We realized from the beginning that "the only way of fighting AIDS is through prevention, the only way of prevention is trough education", which remained our slogan up till now, as it applies not only to AIDS, but to most of the matters our department is dealing with. 

       Objectives:

• To raise awareness among medical students about Reproductive Health enclosing satisfying sexual life, sexual education, family planning, gender equity, sexual violence,cultural and ethical issues, as well as HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases related subjects

• To improve medical students knowledge and make them achieve counseling skills
• To open discussions, lectures and interactive games for elementary and high school students about issues of sexuality, reproductive health, AIDS and STDs and thus promoting healthy sexual behavior
• To promote media campaigns, condom and material distribution, and help fundraising
• To contribute with supportive, social and action services for people living with HIV/AIDS and STDs.
