The project was conceived by the 100% Life charitable foundation. The content creators are experts of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union and Tetiana Krasnopolska, specialist on treatment programs for HIV and hepatitis of the Public Health Center of Ukraine’s Health Ministry.

“There is an unprecedented situation in Ukraine today when the government together with NGOs and with the support of donors have ensured all conditions for overcoming the HIV epidemic in Ukraine. But even now, when we encounter information about HIV, it almost always is of a negative nature. It is therefore extremely important to ensure free access to information about HIV for everyone. It should be made clear that HIV diagnosis, treatment and prevention is simple, fast and free of charge. You have the right to know about your situation, to receive quality treatment and to live a full life,” says Tetiana Krasnopolska.
