As @UgandaRedCross, we find pride in identifying with the cause of the #NSSFKlaHillsRun. The run is aimed at raising funds to support public schools.

Today we offered first aid and ambulance services, referrals, and marshalls at all water distribution points.

Great thanks to our staff and volunteers who participated.

Let's Talk #WASH
Sufficient water must be available for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene & domestic use. Water treatment & disinfection are necessary to ensure water is safe both at source & when used. Good sanitation facilities must be culturally appropriate & safe for use.

[Reproductive Health Uganda @RHUganda]

The realization of sexual reproductive health and rights plays a crucial role in empowering women economically. Realizing SRHR is necessary for women & girls to stay healthy, to participate in education, and to participate in all facets of life, including economic life.

#Condom Use & Promotion#
Messages that encourage sexually active young people to use condoms must be combined with hands-on activities, such as putting a condom on a penis model, or role playing communicating about and negotiating condom use with a partner.

[Community Health Access Foundation Uganda (CHAF-U) @chaf_uganda1]

Young women between the ages of 15 & 24 are 1.6 times more likely than young men to be HIV-positive. This is due to biological factors, as well as a host of social factors, including cross-generational sex, transactional sex, GBV, and limited ability to negotiate safer sex.#CHAFU

[Community Health Access Foundation Uganda (CHAF-U) @chaf_uganda1]

Approximately 42% of all new HIV infections worldwide occur among people ages 15–24. Almost 2,500 youth are infected each day with young women disproportionately affected by and infected with HIV.
Fifty-seven percent of young people living with HIV (YPLHIV) worldwide are female.

Thank You PEPFAR, CHAF-U is glad to be part of these efforts in Uganda.

[Department of State @StateDept]

In 2003, only 50,000 people in Africa were on lifesaving HIV treatment. Now @PEPFAR has saved 25 million+ lives, supports 20.1 million people on HIV treatment globally, and enabled more than 5.5 million babies to be born HIV free. https://t.co/9lRr7gX73L

Let us address all myths about PrEP while doing the drug awareness talks. You can start PrEP if at high risk of HIV acquisition. However, you can eventually stop in case the exposure levels to HIV have reduced. PrEP is only a prevention drug not a life time drug.

[Community Health Access Foundation Uganda (CHAF-U) @chaf_uganda1]

End HIV by 2030

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

Treatment helps people living with HIV live long, healthy lives and stops the transmission of HIV to their sexual partners.

Everyone must have access.

[UNAIDS Global @UNAIDS]

To make the new HIV Prevention 2025 Road Map a success, communities must be involved from the outset in the design, implementation and monitoring of programmes.

"We need to make this real at a local level," said @EamonnMurphy63 at #AIDS2022.

[Community Health Access Foundation Uganda (CHAF-U) @chaf_uganda1]

Let us champion HIV Prevention strategies to reduce on HIV new infections.
