It is Friday vibe of the December where our staff in Masindi are reaching to the road construction 🦺 youth workers with information and services related to HIV/SRHR. #WeAreFRIUg22

If a home is a place where everyone finds comfort, respected, appreciated and communicate to each other freely then why should we discriminate our fellow relatives living with HIV at home. #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

Did you know that getting tested for HIV is vital to receiving the health care you deserve. Many people are unaware that they are living with HIV and may be less likely to take the necessary precautions to prevent transmission. Know your HIV status today. #WeAreFRIUg22

One thing that I really love about myself is that no matter how poorly I have been treated or what I have gone through, I will always have a heart of gold that loves endlessly and nothing will take that away from ME. May All The Wishes Follow You This Week ✌️

HIV stigma contributes to mental health issues in students such as anxiety and depression and may lead to suicidal ideation and school dropout as a result of bullying and discrimination encountered in school from peers and teachers #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

The color orange symbolizes a brighter future, free of violence. It also serves as a means of demonstrating our solidarity in eliminating all forms of violence. #WeAreFRIUg22 #16DaysOfActivism

It is therefore used as the color of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. #WeAreFRIUg22 #16DaysOfActivism

HIV stigma persists within healthcare settings and has been shown to be damaging in the healthcare setting. Stigmatizing attitudes among healthcare providers are an important barrier to accessing HIV/SRHR services among YPLHIV. #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

When the human rights of people living with or affected by HIV are realized, the uptake of HIV services improves. The respect, protection and promotion of human rights have been critical enablers of increases in the uptake of HIV testing, the adherence to treatment. #WeAreFRIUg22

We can do our part to stop HIV stigma by being intentional and thoughtful when choosing our words, and choosing to use supportive rather than stigmatizing language when talking about HIV. #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

Ending HIV among adolescents requires amplifying investments where they can make the most difference and fostering innovation among not only governments, international organizations, CSO and the private sector, but also among adolescents and youth themselves. #WeAreFRIUg22

Stand with us in Solidarity✊ #PassUsTheMic🎤 #YPlusPageant22

Did you know that sometime PLHIV get tired of taking daily pills 💊 however we shouldn’t judge them by saying “We got tired of reminding to take your medication” rather let us support them to have suppressed VL #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

“AIDS is no longer just a disease, it is a human rights issue.” ~Nelson Mandela #WeAreFRIUg22

All we can say is big No to HIV stigmatization practice at schools,home, community and health facilities. We need to start showing love, respect and support to every PLHIV #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

Getting tested for HIV is now easy, quick, confidential and free. There is even an option to know your status at home with a self test. #WeAreFRIUg22

Everyone deserve equal medical treatment, care and LoVe ❤️. We must reinforce messages that PLHIV can live healthy, fulfilling lives, like anyone else. #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

Did you know that LoVe ❤️ and Care are powerful elements to eliminate stigma and discrimination amongst PLHIV in our communities. Let spread LoVe ❤️ not Stigma. #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

Support groups for PLHIV are integrated into HIV care and treatment programs as a modality for increasing patient literacy and as an intervention to address the psychosocial needs. However, we need to scale the formation of this groups. #YouthOvercomingStigma #VijaanaPamoja

Implementing support groups as an intervention is expected to have a high impact on morbidity and retention in care and a moderate impact on mortality and quality of life of PLHIV. #WeAreFRIUg22
