New week, fresh mindset!

As we step into Monday, remember that smart protection is triple protection. Using condoms doesn’t just prevent unintended pregnancies, it also protects against sexually transmitted infections and supports overall sexual health.

Make it a habit. Make it a priority. Make it smart.

Start your week informed, protected, and empowered.

April is STI Awareness Month.

A timely reminder that your health matters, and knowing your status is a powerful step toward protecting yourself and others.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are common, often without symptoms, and completely manageable when detected early. Regular screening is key to staying in control of your health and preventing complications.

At AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Zambia, we’re making it easy and accessible for you to get tested. Free, confidential STI screening services are available at all AHF facilities across:

📍 Lusaka Province
📍 Copperbelt Province
📍 North-Western Province
📍 Eastern Province
📍 Central Province
📍 Southern Province

Whether you have symptoms or not, getting screened is quick, safe, and could make all the difference.

Take charge. Get tested. Stay informed.

Tuesday Throwback: The Shampande Youth Friendly-Space Radio Take Over!
This past National Youth Day, our Young People’s Program (YPP) Shampande lit up the airwaves with a powerful radio talk show. The session broke barriers and sparked open conversations on topics often left unspoken, such as sexual and reproductive health, HIV prevention, testing, condom use, and access to youth-friendly services.
Young people were encouraged to take charge of their health by visiting Shampande Clinic for HIV and syphilis testing, condom collection, and guidance on VMMC appointments. More than just a broadcast, this was a platform for informed decision making and community empowerment.
Every youth voice matters. Every dialogue brings us closer to a healthier, more empowered generation. 💡💪
