![“I was very negligent in all aspects of HIV treatment for my child Glody [age 8], mostly going out without taking care of my child. Thanks to the Yika Mpiko health literacy session, I have become very conscious regarding my child’s health in general, giving him medicines prior to going out. I am very happy that my child’s viral load count can be suppressed.” — Rachel, Lunda Health Center](https://pedaids.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/DRCStoryQuoteGraphics-06_v2.png)
