For many adolescents, distance and limited access to accurate information can prevent them from seeking essential HIV services. To help close this gap, Tusole Theatre and Youth Friendly Association conducted a door-to-door HIV Testing Services (HTS) outreach activity in Namaenya Village, under Kalobolelwa Health Facility in Sesheke District.
During the outreach, adolescents received age-appropriate HIV prevention information, Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials, confidential HIV testing and STI screening. Eligible clients were also referred to Kalobolelwa Health Facility for PrEP initiation and other appropriate services.
By taking services directly to households, the activity helped increase awareness of the importance of knowing one’s HIV status and enabled adolescents to access vital health information and services within their community.
This initiative was implemented with financial support from the Global Fund through the Ministry of Health and the University Teaching Hospitals–HIV/AIDS Programme (UTH-HAP).
Together, we are bringing services closer to communities and empowering adolescents to make informed, healthier choices.
