#IASYouthVoices: The Power of Peers

“I was 10 years old when I found out that I was HIV-positive. I live with my grandmother. Both my parents passed away when I was young."

Shanine Mushonga is a young woman living with HIV in Zimbabwe. In the latest #IASYouthVoices video, she shares why many young people with HIV don’t take their medication as prescribed, and what we can do to help improve their adherence to treatment. A collaboration between Children's Radio Foundation, Makhulu, Sydelle Willow Smith and the International AIDS Society, stay tuned for more stories like this from youth affected by HIV.
