Mamohato, a 22-year-old woman from Leribe District, Lesotho shares that her life has changed for the better since she started taking part in Sentebale’s peer educator sessions. For a long time, she was afraid to raise the issue of condom use with her husband who has multiple sexual partners. However, at the sessions she learnt about her sexual health as well as reproductive rights and PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and its benefits. Through the skills learnt, she has been able to address her concerns with her husband assertively and with the support of her peer educator, she has been initiated on PrEP via her local health facility.
