The HIV/AIDS Commission is stepping up its public awareness campaign with a major social media drive that emerged from this week’s conclusion of a Love Safely visual literary contest.
The HIV Social Media Literary Competition was aimed at using the upsurge in social media usage during the COVID-19 pandemic to interact with persons and get them and their followers to commemorate and participate in World AIDS Day and AIDSAwareness Week.Utilising this medium to engage persons will also generate valuable feedback for the HIV/AIDS Commission to guide future messages, campaignsand outreaches.
The competition was centered on themes where persons were encouraged to generate fictional or true literary works which are positive and uplifting as HIV is not a death sentence.
