Health Education

Practical, client-friendly guidance for prevention, testing, PrEP, LEN, side effects, service navigation, and outreach conversations.

HIV Basics

HIV Basics English Everyone Offline

Clear basics on HIV transmission, prevention, testing, and treatment linkage.

  • Use condoms and lubricant consistently.
  • Test regularly and after recent possible exposure.
  • Seek confirmatory testing and care after a reactive self-test.
HIV can be prevented with a combination of condoms, PrEP, regular testing, treatment for partners living with HIV, and safer choices during periods of higher risk.

PrEP Information

PrEP Information English Everyone Offline

Client-friendly guidance on PrEP purpose, adherence, clinic follow-up, and refills.

  • Ask a provider which PrEP option fits your situation.
  • Keep refill and follow-up appointments.
  • Report side effects early so support can be provided.
PrEP is medicine taken by HIV-negative people to reduce the chance of getting HIV. It works best when used as prescribed and paired with routine HIV testing and clinic review.

LEN Education

LEN Education English Everyone Offline

Education on long-acting lenacapavir prevention discussions and continuation support.

  • Discuss eligibility and timing with a trained provider.
  • Attend scheduled injection and review visits.
  • Ask what to do if a visit is missed.
Long-acting injectable prevention options can reduce daily pill burden for some clients. A clinician should confirm eligibility, explain visit schedules, and discuss side effects and continuation planning.

Oral PrEP vs LEN

Oral PrEP vs LEN Comparison English Everyone Offline

A plain-language comparison of daily oral PrEP and long-acting LEN discussions.

  • Oral PrEP may suit clients comfortable with daily medicine.
  • Injectable options may suit clients who prefer less frequent dosing.
  • Both require HIV testing and clinical follow-up.
Oral PrEP usually requires regular pill-taking, while long-acting injectable options rely on scheduled clinic visits. The best option depends on eligibility, preference, availability, and provider guidance.

Side Effects Guidance

Side Effects Guidance English Everyone Offline

Guidance on monitoring side effects and knowing when urgent care is needed.

  • Do not ignore severe or worsening symptoms.
  • Tell a provider if side effects make adherence difficult.
  • Bring medicine details to the clinic when seeking help.
Some prevention medicines can cause side effects. Many are mild, but severe rash, swelling, fainting, chest pain, breathing difficulty, or worsening symptoms need urgent clinical advice.

Myth-Busting Library

Myth-Busting English Everyone Offline

Short responses to common concerns, misinformation, and stigma around HIV prevention.

  • PrEP is for HIV-negative people at risk of HIV.
  • HIV services should be confidential and respectful.
  • Questions and concerns are valid and should be answered clearly.
Misinformation can stop people from using services. Use respectful, factual responses and encourage clients to speak with qualified health workers for personal clinical questions.

IPC Script Repository

IPC Script / Job Aid English Mobilisers Offline

Outreach conversation prompts for mobilisers and peer navigators.

  • Ask permission before discussing HIV prevention.
  • Use non-judgmental language.
  • Offer a warm referral when the client is ready.
Start with permission, listen first, explain options simply, and offer referral support without pressure. Close by confirming the client understands their next step.

Peer Testimonial Guide

Peer Testimonial English Everyone Offline

Safe testimonial guidance that supports peer education without exposing private information.

  • Use stories only with informed consent.
  • Avoid names or details that could identify someone without permission.
  • Focus on service experience and practical support.
Peer stories can reduce fear and normalize care-seeking. Testimonials should be voluntary, respectful, de-identified when needed, and never disclose another person’s HIV status.
