Our first AYP outreach at Kocholyia KMTC, Teso North reached 121 AYP with integrated HIV prevention services including HTS, PrEP sensitization, STI & TB screening, GBV awareness & condom distribution. Youth-friendly services must reach young people where they are. #YPlusKenya

We’ve trained Peer Educators in Matayos, Bunyala, Butula & Teso North to support AGYW-focused HIV prevention under the GC7 HIV Program in Busia County. Peer-led approaches strengthen access to youth-friendly, stigma-free services where they matter most. #YPlusKenya #AGYW

The Health Integration Summit highlighted the need for: ✔️ People-centered care ✔️ Sustainable HIV financing ✔️ Strong partnerships ✔️ Investment in youth-led solutions Integration must not leave young people behind. #HealthIntegration #AYPVoices

@NJotwoma highlighted the importance of sustainable financing for HIV programs in Kenya. He underscored that the time has come for the government to step up and use the national Exchequer to fund HIV programs, noting that domestic investment is key to maintaining services.

Fam! We’re at the Health Integration Summit in Mombasa Key focus: ensuring integrated care brings services closer to women, AYPs & key populations, leaving no one behind. Youth voices matter in shaping inclusive health systems. #HealthIntegration

Important conversations on human rights and gender in health. Community networks came together to strengthen advocacy skills, explore legal and policy barriers, and promote tools like Community-Led Monitoring to improve HIV, TB & malaria services. #YouthLeadership

Access to HIV prevention matters. Lenacapavir is being rolled out in 15 counties across Kenya, expanding prevention choices for communities. Stay informed. Know your options. Protect your health. #HIVPrevention #PreventionChoices

There’s a lot of information online about Lenacapavir but not all of it is accurate. Separating myths from facts helps young people make informed decisions about HIV prevention. Accurate information matters. Prevention choices matter. #HIVPrevention

Information about prevention options is critical for young people and communities. Learning about innovations such as Lenacapavir strengthens the collective effort to prevent HIV transmission. @yplus_global @hopechildinc @ypluskenya #prepchoices #Lenacapavir.

I think it is important for us to know that HIV prevention is no longer limited to just daily pills. Innovations like #Lenacapavir are introducing long acting options that can offer protection over longer periods. #prepchoices. @yplus_global @nsdcc_kenya @hopechildinc

HIV prevention should work for everyone. Innovations like @Lenacapavir are expanding prevention choices by offering long-acting protection that fits different lifestyles. More options mean more people can stay protected. #HIVPrevention #PrePChoices

What if HIV prevention could last up to 6 months with one shot? That’s the promise of Lenacapavir a HIV prevention option designed to offer protection that lasts longer. Fewer doses. Longer protection. More prevention choices. What have you heard about Lenacapavir so far?

Fam! Following the broader conversation on HIV prevention choices, an important question arises: Did you know that PrEP now comes in different forms? Expanding awareness of these options is essential to ensuring that young people can make informed decisions about HIV prevention.

Do you know the different ways you can prevent HIV today? Many young people only hear about one option, but the truth is, HIV prevention has choices from PrEP to Condoms. And with new prevention innovations like Lenacapavir, the conversation around HIV prevention is evolving.

Today, we say thank you and farewell to our Executive Director, Maximina Jokonya. Her leadership strengthened Y+ Global’s voice & amplified the power of young people living with #HIV worldwide. 💛We are deeply grateful for her vision, courage & commitment to youth-led change.

Young people must not be afterthought. HIV services must be youth‑led, privacy‑protective, and integrate SRHR – designed with young people and properly resourced. When youth shape what gets delivered, outcomes improve—and no one is left behind. #YouthLead #EndAIDS

Fam! Ahead of the upcoming HIV Integration Summit, we call for adolescents and young people to remain at the center of reform. Integration must protect youth-friendly services, mental health support, and peer-led models that drive retention and viral suppression.
