This year's instalment will be the second time the city has hosted the conference. 


The 13th International Aids Conference was held in Durban in 2000. 


Premier Senzo Mchunu is officially launching the 100 Days Countdown to the conference today...


"We are happy as we get to mark 100 days before the Aids Conference. Everything is on course. From all the logistics that involve all the participating nations right up to the venue itself," he said. 


Mchunu says the conference will help inspire a greater effort to stop the spread of the disease. 


City and provincial leaders have also taken part in an HIV/Aids awareness march through the CBD this morning.
