Many people take it for granted
that all youth knows how to use condoms and they go on telling youth to
use it. But is this enough? There is also need to sensitize them on how to use condoms!!!
Above and below is Geoffrey demonstrating how to use condoms during a sensitization to youth in Pader, North Uganda.
My findings during sensitization on condom use among youth
clearly indicate that many of them do not know how to use condoms correctly and consistently. Even besides that, they feel shy to go and
pick free condoms at the health centers for use, because of
fear of stigmatization. So let us all be aware of this issue and talk to youth to encourage them to get
this free service from the health centers.
My
fellow health workers, government and different stakeholders, let's
fight HIV/AIDS which is rampantly increasing among youth in Uganda. Together we can help people be protected! HIV is real and it is still a big
threat to our nation. By joining efforts we can save our fellow mates from this infection.

The photo below shows Geoffrey giving health talk /education to youth on HIV/AIDS preventive and
control measures in Pader youth center. This sensitization was aimed at helping
increase youth's awareness on the ways of preventing and controlling HIV/AIDS spread and
infection.
Let
us save our young generation by making them aware of the problems so that they
become the change agents. Young people are the future of the nation,
let's protect them and save our nation.
You have a role to play....act now!!!!
What is your effort toward HIV prevention and control in your community or country?
