The Ministry of Public Health has published the CAMPHIA 2024–2025 English summary sheet, giving Cameroon the latest official evidence on HIV. This provides an important opportunity to move beyond reading statistics and help young people understand what the data means for their lives, their communities, and their role in the HIV response.

This and many more will be discussed on our Let's Talk Pandemics session this evening.

HIV in Cameroon, What the numbers say

The latest CAMPHIA 2024 data shows that HIV is still affecting thousands of Cameroonians, with some regions recording prevalence rates above 5%.

📍North West: 5.6%
📍Centre: 5.3%
📍South: 4.8%
📍Adamawa: 4.2%
📍 East: 4.0%

But this isn’t just about statistics. These numbers represent real people our friends, classmates, colleagues, family members, and neighbors.

As young people, we have a role to play:

✅ Get tested regularly and know your status.
✅ Speak up against stigma and discrimination.
✅ Promote safe and responsible choices.
✅ Stop spreading myths and misinformation.
✅ Support friends and loved ones living with HIV.

An HIV free future won’t happen by chance. It will happen when we, as young people, become informed, involved, and empowered.

Let’s move from awareness to action.

On June 4th and 5th, 2026, Youth Against Pandemics (YAP), through its Youth Advisor Ivan Paterson Bep, participated in an awareness campaign organized by the Yaoundé 5 Municipality at the Collège Larousse in Yaoundé.

This activity provided an opportunity to discuss several major public health issues with young people and their parents, including:
Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis; Antimalarial resistance; and HIV prevention and protection measures.

Through these discussions, participants were made aware of the importance of prevention, access to reliable information, and adopting healthy behaviors.

YAP remains committed to promoting the meaningful participation of young people in community health initiatives and supporting actions that contribute to the well-being of communities.

A member of the Youth Advisory Group (YAG) David Ivan under the CESI project participated in the official launch of the Country Dialogue in Cameroon.

This is a milestone achievement, ensuring that youths occupy decision making spaces, making their voices and that of other youths through active representation heard. The process is a key step in preparing for GC8 (the 8th funding cycle of the The Global Fund ), particularly for the collaborative development of the National Concept Note.

In a context marked by a reduction of approximately 29% in funding, it is essential to guarantee:
• Effective representation of young people
• Consideration of the specific needs of young people
• Interventions adapted to the realities on the ground

YAG reaffirms its commitment to actively contribute to this process in order to promote inclusive, equitable, and sustainable responses.

Nothing for young people without young people.
