These cartoons were created by the Community of African Youth Advisors (CAYA), an internal advisory group consisting of young people between the ages of 15-29 who are beneficiaries of services across 11 EGPAF-supported countries. The cartoons are meant to be used to discuss common concerns, misconceptions, and challenges around treatment literacy [ART, adherence, viral load, Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U)]. They can be used in (in-person or virtual) support groups support groups, adherence clubs, etc. and are meant to be shared— read (aloud, silently, in groups) or acted out—and discussed using the guides on the back of each cartoon facilitated by adolescent peers or youth facilitators to have open and honest discussions. There are also added animations of select comics to be shared for an additional mode of sharing and discussion.
