On 2nd April, Maphunziro Movement Trust participated in an interactive engagement with MANASO Malawi, focusing on key youth issues such as HIV prevention, access to PrEP and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).
The discussion revealed that while some young people are aware of PrEP and motivated to protect themselves, many still lack accurate information.
Challenges like stigma, misinformation, fear of being perceived as HIV positive, and cultural or religious barriers continue to limit access to PREP intake.We emphasized the need for increased community awareness, youth-friendly spaces and supportive, non-judgmental health services to empower young people and reduce their vulnerability to HIV.
