YICA has organized a platform that will promote HIV testing through Essays, Poems and songs competition. It is a platform for the adolescents and young artists during the World AIDS Day this year.
While East African Countries are making good progress in the HIV response among adults, these countries are lagging behind in the response to protect adolescents and young adults counts as estimated one third (33%) of the population of East Africa are aged between 15-24 years. HIV prevalence among youth has not decreased in the past five years. Furthermore, the special needs of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) are not being met.
Adolescence is the growth phase where an individual makes the gradual transition from childhood to adulthood. Adolescents are people between 10 and 19 years of age. Adolescence is a phase of life that is defined differently across cultures. Economic hardship and lack of access to money or employment can lead adolescents to steal or take work in hazardous situations that increase health risks.
Adolescents are a heterogeneous/diverse group. Girls often face gender discrimination that affects food allocation, access to health care, adherence to care, the ability to negotiate safe sex, and opportunities for social and economic well being.
The project builds on past investments and on-going activities in multi-sectoral efforts to control the epidemic are succeeding, creating the possibility of an AIDS-free generation. Improved access to care and treatment has brought much relief and hope to thousands of People Living with HIV (PLHIV).
The project aim is to support East African Countries to attain the UNAIDS Fast Track Strategy ambitious targets to help end the AIDS epidemic of 90-90-90 by 2020 (90% of all people living with HIV know their HIV status, 90% of people who know their status have access to treatment and 90% of people on treatment have suppressed viral loads).
