On 14 February 2020, Valentine ’s Day, the AfNHi youth cohort ran a social media campaign to increase young people’s awareness on HIV prevention. This outreach activity was designed to empower the youth to initiate the sex and HIV prevention discussion among their peers. The key messages shared on the campaign were; Know your partner before engaging in risky sexual behaviour; know your HIV status; protect yourself and your partner by using the available HIV prevention tools.

AfNHi youth cohort is a mobilization platform for young people to engage in HIV prevention research advocacy by equipping them with knowledge and capacity.
