Today, HIV has become an Epidemic of the Mind. Our adversary is not a biological virus living in people’s bodies, but our own thoughts and attitudes.
For too many, “HIV” means stigma. These three letters carry more than four decades of shame, prejudice and false beliefs. For those living with HIV and those at risk of infection, this stigma acts as a barrier to knowledge, protection, and health care. It stifles conversation surrounding the virus and creates a silence that allows HIV to spread far more easily than it should. A virus is not responsible for this. We are.

To end the epidemic, we need to change how the world views HIV. That is why we must rename it.

Youth against AIDS provides condoms to youth in southern africa. 

Our condom distribution program is set up to place condom vendors in TVET colleges and youth facilities in South Africa and Namibia. Supported by and in cooperation with the South African Department of Health as well as the First Lady of Namibia, this program helps young people in areas with infrastructural hurdles to access information and personal prevention against HIV/AIDS and STIs as well as unwanted pregnancy and thus empowers and gives self determination to the young population. 

Our goal is to set up nationwide infrastructure with condom dispensers at all TVET colleges and other educational facilities to make free quality condoms available to every young person.
