What inspires you to work in the HIV field?
My greatest motivation to work in the HIV field is the hope for a healthy generation of young people, a generation of proactive young citizens who are responsible and have the confidence to seek and demand quality HIV and public health service provision from authorities. This is a generation that utilizes research findings to adopt healthier and positive life options.
What are your goals as an IAS change maker?
My goals are to:
1. Inspire young people to lead responsible and healthy lifestyles.
2. Champion results-based advocacy by young people with the aim of addressing existing and future barriers to young people accessing vital HIV and SRH information and services.
3. Inspire young people to meaningfully participate in research and programmes meant to generate evidence for new and viable HIV interventions.
