Contraception: How much do you really know?

Contraception isn't a one-size-fits-all conversation.
There are different methods, and each one comes with different benefits, considerations and levels of effectiveness.
From condoms to pills, injectables, implants and other methods, understanding your options is the first step towards making an informed decision.
And no, choosing contraception isn't something to be ashamed of. Asking questions is part of taking charge of your health.
At PHAU, we believe young people deserve accurate information, supportive conversations and the confidence to make informed decisions.
What is one thing about contraception you'd like us to explain?

WHEN WAS YOUR LAST HIV TEST?
No judgement. No pressure. Just a question worth asking yourself.
Knowing your HIV status gives you information that can help you make informed decisions about your health and relationships.
And remember:
Testing is not about assuming the worst. It's about knowing.
Encourage a friend. Talk about testing. Challenge the stigma.
Because a healthier generation starts with young people who have the information and support they need to take charge of their health.
📍 Know where you can access HIV testing and other sexual health services in your community.

But I feel fine….
Feeling healthy doesn't always tell you everything about your sexual health.
Some sexually transmitted infections may not cause noticeable symptoms, which is why testing and seeking appropriate healthcare when needed are important.
Your sexual health deserves attention even when nothing feels wrong.
And getting tested isn't something to be ashamed of.
It's responsible. It's informed. It's taking care of yourself.
Know your options.
Get accurate information.
Take care of your sexual health.

International Youth Day!!!
Different Contexts. Common Aspirations.
Young people don't all live the same lives.
Some grow up in urban communities. Others in rural communities. Some have easy access to information and services, while others face barriers that make it harder to access the support they need.
But despite our different contexts, we share common aspirations.
We want to be healthy. We want to be heard. We want to make informed choices. We want opportunities. We want to shape our own futures.
At Public Health Ambassadors Uganda (PHAU), we believe that empowering young people with accurate information, meaningful participation and the right support is an important step towards achieving those aspirations.
This International Youth Day, we celebrate the diversity of young people while championing what connects us:

Happy New Year 🤍
A new year means a new chapter not because we suddenly become new people, but because we get another chance to grow, heal, and choose better for ourselves.
2026, we step into you with gratitude for the lessons, courage from the losses, and hope for what’s ahead.
May this year bring clarity where there was confusion, peace where there was heaviness, and strength for every dream waiting to be pursued.
Here’s to showing up with intention, loving more deeply, and living more honestly.

Motivational Monday!!!
This is your reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out.
It’s okay to still be learning.
It’s okay to change your mind.
It’s okay to move slowly.
Growth is not always neat or loud, sometimes it’s quiet, confusing, and messy. And that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re becoming.
You don’t need all the answers right now.
You don’t need a perfect plan.
You just need the courage to keep showing up, even on the days you’re unsure.

Motivational Monday!!!!
This week, choose peace on purpose.
Peace isn’t always quiet or easy sometimes it’s saying no, walking away from what drains you, setting boundaries that protect your spirit, and choosing yourself even when it feels uncomfortable.
Remember:
Peace is a decision
Boundaries are an act of self-respect
Walking away is also moving forward
Your emotional wellbeing is worth protecting
Start the week with this reminder:
Protect your peace like it’s part of your purpose because it is.

As we slide into the weekend, here’s your reminder:
GBV doesn’t take weekends off & neither should our awareness.
Today, on Day 11 of the 16 Days of Activism, we’re shining a bright light on the kind of violence that hides behind screens, emojis, and “just joking”:
Digital Violence Against Women & Girls.
Harmless banter?
Entertainment?
“Just vibes”? Absolutely not.
This weekend, as we relax, scroll, post, and engage online, let’s remember:
Your comments carry weight
Your silence can speak loudly
Your digital choices can protect or harm
Online spaces should feel like home not a battlefield.
And safety should never clock out just because it’s Friday.

Final Stretch of the Year!!
A new month, a gentle reminder that we have made it through every challenge, every shift, and every silent battle this year.
December arrives with soft whispers of gratitude not just for the big victories, but for the strength we found on the days we didn’t feel strong at all.
This month, we are choosing to appreciate ourselves a little more.
To celebrate the growth we didn’t notice happening.
To honour the healing we didn’t even ask for but still received.
Here’s to a December filled with peace, clarity, and softness.
A December where we speak kindly to ourselves, protect our energy, and trust that what’s meant for us is coming with ease.

World AIDS Day reminds us of our shared responsibility to protect one another.
Under this year’s theme, “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response,” we celebrate the resilience of young people who continue to rise above challenges, lack of access, stigma, and social barriers.
At PHAU, we ensure that the youth have the tools, knowledge, and support needed to stay healthy from HIV awareness campaigns, digital education platforms, linkage to testing and care, to camp-to-community engagements that uplift young voices.
Young people deserve a world where HIV prevention is accessible, stigma free, and youth-friendly.
And together, we’re building it.
Let’s unite to overcome disruptions and create a stronger, more inclusive AIDS response.

Today marks the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence!!!
This year, we raise our voices for a growing but often invisible threat Digital Violence against Women and Girls. From online harassment, cyberbullying, stalking, revenge porn, intimidation, privacy breaches, to misinformation that targets and silences women digital spaces are becoming new battlegrounds for safety and dignity.
Women and girls deserve to learn, work, love, lead, create, and exist online without fear.
