The Positive YUVA Network is committed to aiding Youth Living with HIV (PLHIV), who often confront numerous challenges upon discovering their HIV status. Insufficient information about HIV can induce fear and anxiety, exacerbated by societal stigmas. Many individuals with HIV find themselves grappling with societal issues, leading to a sense of darkness and despair in their lives.
Through our initiatives, we aspire to empower these individuals with comprehensive knowledge. We provide peer counseling and professional guidance to create a supportive environment where they can gain insights, access resources, and receive counseling. Our goal is to ensure they feel understood, supported, and well-equipped to navigate life positively, despite the challenges posed by their HIV status. Currently, we are reaching out and connecting with approximately 15 youth every month, fostering a community that uplifts and supports each other.
