HIV and STI testing at the youth camp
At the December youth camp, 20 young people were tested for HIV and screened for syphilis and hepatitis B, with education on condoms, PrEP and PEP.
Knowing your HIV status gives you powerful information to keep yourself healthy. Testing helps people make informed choices, reduce their risk of getting or passing on HIV, and start treatment early if needed.
At the MASYAP youth camp, our HIV testing team offered testing and talked about preventing HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis.
