Stakeholders in the fight against HIV/AIDS should package their messages in a non-contradictory manner and make them less confusing to the youth, the First Lady has said.
Janet Museveni said messages focused on behavioural change caused the rapid fall in HIV/AIDS prevalence rates in the 1980s and ‘90s from 30%, which has since stagnated at 6%.
Mrs Museveni was launching the Young Empowered and Healthy project at the Ndere Centre in Kisaasi, a Kampala suburb.
She said little success had been achieved in the past few years, despite the many resources and time invested.
