Fam! The USAID funding freeze is cutting young people living with and affected by HIV off from ART, mental health support & SRHR services. We can’t ignore this! Let’s turn up the heat & push for change. Takes 5 mins. Makes a BIG impact.

What’s a stigma index? It’s a tool that captures real stories and data on how stigma affects people living with HIV. For young people, it highlights the barriers we face and helps us push for change. It’s not just about stats, it’s about breaking cycles and building respect.

Fam! We’re in groups, brainstorming, vibing, and co-creating strategies to roll out a stigma index for adolescents & young people living with HIV in Kenya. Because who knows the struggle better than us? We’re shaping solutions that work. ✊🏾 #EndStigma #YplusKenya

Stigma is real. Every time I disclosed my status, partners disappeared Some facilities call themselves 'youth-friendly' but are they really? How can I trust a place where staff whisper about me after my check-up? We need actions, not just signages Respect us. See us. Support us
