HIV & AIDS Awareness Campaign
“Know. Prevent. Support. End HIV Stigma.”
About the Program
Our HIV & AIDS Awareness Campaign is a community-focused initiative designed to increase accurate knowledge about HIV, promote prevention and early testing, encourage access to appropriate care and support, and reduce stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV. The campaign seeks to empower young people, families and vulnerable communities with practical information and connect them with appropriate health services and support. The campaign is aligned with global HIV initiatives, including the WHO's emphasis on prevention, equitable access to services, human rights, community empowerment and ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
