In our communities over 60% of new HIV infections are in the 16 to 22 age group with girls overwhelmingly affected.

Ubuntu's outreach programme focuses on preventing HIV infection by building skills and promoting health-seeking behaviour. Our outreach team uses a variety of outreach activities to increase awareness of personal risk, make knowledge of personal and partner HIV status a relationship norm, increase knowledge of serodiscordancy in couples, promote consistent and correct usage of male and female condoms, and improve awareness and uptake of HIV clinical and community support services.
